The Office of Public Works received an application in April this year from South Dublin County Council under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works Scheme for funding of €100,000 to undertake works to the bridge concerned.

Following an assessment of the application, it was determined that the condition of the structure does not give rise to a flood risk. As such, the project was deemed ineligible for funding under the Scheme and South Dublin County Council was advised accordingly on 15th May, 2012.
