Officials from the Office of Public Works and Dublin City Council met on 29 July 2009 to discuss possible flood alleviation measures following the extreme rainfall in the Dublin 3 and Dublin 5 areas on 2 July. An interim report by Dublin City Council's consultants, presented at that meeting, concluded that a full study of the River Wad Sub-Catchment was needed. Dublin City Council appointed consultants to carry out a full study of the sub-catchment and that study is to be completed in the first six months of 2010. Information from the study will inform future plans for flood alleviation of the Wad sub-catchment.
Appropriate funds are allocated to Dublin City Council, as in the case of any of the Local Authorities, following detailed consideration of funding requests.
