Clare County Council has submitted an application under the Office of Public Work's (OPW) Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme for funding for the projects mentioned by the Deputy. The OPW has reviewed and discussed the material received with Clare County Council; and to finalise its application has requested the Council to provide to the OPW material on the measurement of benefits that would accrue from these proposed works.

Following receipt of information to support a complete application under this administrative scheme, the OPW will be in a position to assess the application including whether the proposed measures are cost beneficial and in accordance with the eligibility criteria for the scheme which is published on the OPW website, www.opw.ie.
