According to a letter issued by the engineer in charge of the flood defence unit project team, flood protection work in the area of the Dodder estuary from Ringsend bridge to Newbridge in Sandymount is completed and is designated to prevent tidal and river flooding to a 200 year event and the best estimates of tidal rise due to global warming to the end of the century. Is this sufficient to allow people obtain flood insurance for their property? It is an official letter issued by a professional team working for the OPW. Is it adequate to allow household insurance for flood cover?
