The Office of Public Works has not received a funding application from Cork County Council to date for minor flood relief works in Inchigeela. However, it is open to the Council to submit an application under the minor flood works scheme. If an application is submitted, it will be considered having regard to the conclusions of the Lee Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study which are currently being reviewed in light of the November, 2009 flood event, and also to the overall availability of resources for flood risk management.
