The Office of Public Works was approached in relation to the flood problem at the location referred to. This area is included in an in-depth study that is currently being carried out by the OPW in conjunction with Cork City and County Councils to assess the flood risk throughout the River Lee catchment and identify measures to address it. It is expected that options for mitigation measures will be available for consideration by the Local Authorities in mid-2008.
