The Office of Public Works has recently submitted the Clare River (Claregalway) Drainage Scheme 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 by the end of the year, or early in the new year, in areas that do not have particular environmental or weather constraints.
