The following table sets out the details for all major flood relief schemes in the counties indicated at planning, construction and post construction phase, the period of construction, a breakdown of the annual funding for such schemes over the 2011–2015 period.

The expected construction periods indicated are based on current best estimates having regard to the fact that many schemes are at a very early stage.
In relation to the funding of schemes, the Government has provided a total capital allocation of €430 million for flood risk management over the years 2016-2021 and this will be sufficient to meet the funding requirements of all the above indicated scheme yet to commence construction.
In addition to the above major schemes, the local authorities for the counties concerned may have carried out more localised minor flood relief works either using their own funding or with funding provided through the Office of Public Works Minor Flood Mitigation and Coastal Protection Scheme.
