The Commissioners of Public Works have submitted the proposals for the scheme to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for statutory approval by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in accordance with the requirements of the Arterial Drainage Acts.

Advance works including the construction of an additional flood eye at Claregalway Bridge and replacement of Crusheeny Bridge were carried out on foot of the recommendations of the engineering consultants for the scheme in order to reduce flood risk in the area. The OPW does not propose to carry out further works pending approval of the scheme by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, apart from routine channel maintenance.
