Dublin City Council has confirmed to the Office of Public Works that it has agreed with the property developers of the old industrial estate behind Distillery Road Bridge, that the developers will construct a wall connecting the new bridge with the existing wall downstream of the bridge on the right bank. My officials have been informed by the city council that this work will be completed in the next few weeks. The OPW and the city council are satisfied that the existing wall downstream of this point is of adequate height to protect against the extreme flood event the works were designed to cater for, following the raising of the wall in that stretch in 2005.
