A national programme of catchment flood risk assessment and management studies, CFRAMs, which will lead to the development of comprehensive flood risk assessment and management plans for areas of significant flood risk, is being rolled out by the Office of Public Works. The appointment of consultants to undertake catchment-based flood risk assessment and management studies for the River Shannon is being finalised as we speak, and an announcement will probably issue later this afternoon.
