Kilkenny County Council in conjunction with the Office of Public Works commissioned a preliminary Flood Risk Management Study in respect of Thomastown, Graiguenamanagh and Callan. The study found that the impact of the weir at Thomastown on the flood levels is not significant and contains no recommendations in respect of the weir.
