It is expected that the Clare River (Claregalway) Drainage Scheme, which encompasses alleviation works between Carnmore and Claregalway, will be submitted shortly to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform for statutory approval to proceed to construction.

If approval is received, it is expected that construction will commence before the end of the year in areas that do not have particular environmental or weather constraints.
