The Office of Public Works (OPW) has undertaken significant flood relief works, either by undertaking such works directly or by funding works undertaken by Dublin City Council, on the north side of Dublin City over the last 15 years.

The following major schemes have been carried out:

Flood relief works were also carried out in the Clanmoyle area, Donnycarney on the River Wad which borders the area referred to in the question. This work was substantially completed in 2014 and cost approximately €5 million.

In addition to the above, the City Council was approved funding in 2011 of €135,000 for localised works in Raheny Village and Harmontown Road under the OPW’s Minor Flood Mitigation and Coastal Works Scheme. The implementation of any of these works is a matter for the City Council.
