A flood relief scheme for the Donnycarney area of Dublin City on the River Wad is being designed and progressed by Dublin City Council. It is understood that the city council will soon commence the planning process for the scheme through Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations, which will involve public consultation in relation to the proposals.

Subject to a successful outcome to the planning process, it is expected that works could commence in the latter part of this year. The Office of Public Works will undertake the works on behalf of the council once planning approval has been obtained. It is expected that works would be completed within twelve months of commencement.
