No observations on the pre-feasibility report on Shannon flooding have been received to date from the various stakeholders, 22 in all, who contributed to the completion of the report. Because of the report's size and complexity, this may take some time.

Further action, if any, must await the views of the relevant stakeholders. Any actions being considered to alleviate flooding from the Shannon are likely to give rise to environmental and economic questions, which will be difficult to resolve.
