OPW has been requested by Mayo County Council to provide funding for flood relief works based on the report in question.

It is understood the flooding in question affects the road and some gardens but that no residences or other buildings have been flooded. OPW has a substantial and growing list of areas seeking flood relief where flooding of houses and other premises is causing hardship and priority is being accorded to such cases.

The area in question falls within the Bleachyard Drainage District, which is part of the Camcloon Drainage District. OPW believes that maintenance of the watercourse which is the responsibility of the Drainage District Board would considerably improve the situation in this case and will be advising the County Council accordingly.
