The Office of Public Works has statutory responsibility for the maintenance of the Glore River, which forms part of the Moy Arterial Drainage Scheme.
Works are progressing at present on this river as part of the OPW arterial drainage maintenance programme for 2014. Due to low water some works may be delayed.
Liaison is continuing with the environmental stakeholders and, with continued agreement, it is intended to continue the current works through the Cave, Ballyhaunis area along the full length of the Scheduled Channel.
