It is no longer Government policy to carry out arterial drainage schemes. At the request of Kilkenny County Council, the OPW has agreed to carry out a pre-feasibility study to assess the potential for localised flood relief works in Piltown. No decision can be taken on further action until the results of this study are available. The study will commence later this year and is expected to be completed by mid-2005.
