An Engineer from the Office of Public Works has met with Donegal County Council and it has been determined that the flooding was caused by a blockage in the Doran River which is a partially culverted channel that runs through the town of Bundoran.

Works to alleviate the problem have been carried out by the landowner and Donegal County Council are aware of the importance of the channel to the drainage of the area. Maintenance of the existing drainage system will significantly reduce the possibility of a re-occurrence of the flooding. in the future.
