The Office of Public Works is working with Bray Town Council to develop and implement a Flood Relief Scheme for the town.

Funding is being provided to the Town Council from the provision in the National Development Plan for Flood Risk Management measures.

The Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed scheme and the necessary Compulsory Purchase Orders have been approved by An Bord Pleanála and I anticipate that construction of the scheme will commence next year.
