A total of €31,500 was allocated by the Office of Public Works to Cork County Council following assessment of applications received from the Council in respect of localised minor flood mitigation works in 2009. The OPW will be writing to Local Authorities shortly in relation to funding for flood mitigation works they propose to undertake in 2010. If a submission is made by Cork County Council, it will be evaluated, along with all other applications received, having regard to the total funding available for such works.
