The Office of Public Works undertook to carry out a detailed survey to inform the design of remedial works to the channel, which flooded in Drumconrath during the October 2011 event.

The survey has been completed and this Office is currently assessing a number of options for works to mitigate the risk of flooding in the future. The preferred option will take account of cost/benefit and environmental issues.

It is expected that the works will be undertaken by OPW during Summer 2012.
