Proposals for dealing with the flooding problems experienced in Enniscorthy were placed on formal Public Exhibition by the Office of Public Works in February of this year for a period of four weeks. A large number of observations were received following the Exhibition, of which a significant amount were opposed to the proposals. As both Wexford County Council and Enniscorthy Town Council are in partnership with OPW in bringing forward a flood relief scheme for the town, OPW has requested that the elected members of each council consider the current proposals, bearing in mind the amount of local opposition to these proposals, and make a formal observation, as required under the Arterial Drainage Acts. Once received, OPW will then decide, in conjunction with the Local Authority, how best to progress the scheme.
