It is the intention of the Office of Public Works to undertake a Flood Relief Feasibility Study for Carrigaline within available resources. In that context, it is expected that progress on this Study, that will cover Ballinhassig, will commence during the first half of 2016.
The Study will cover, using the outputs from the Lee Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Study and the review of the Lee CFRAM outputs by the engineering consultants that are undertaking the South Western CFRAM Study.
The Feasibility Study when complete will identify the feasible flood relief measures for Ballinhassig.
