The Office of Public Works received a funding application from Cork County Council in February 2011, under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works Scheme, to undertake works at the location concerned. The OPW is continuing its assessment of the application, has undertaken a site inspection and is also in further consultation with the Council in the matter. A decision on providing funding for the application will be made on the conclusion of the assessment, in accordance with the criteria of the scheme and having regard to the overall availability of resources for flood risk management.
