The Office of Public Works (OPW) Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme is a scheme under which the OPW may provide funding assistance and support to local authorities to undertake viable, cost effective, localised and small scale flood relief works in their administrative areas.

An application for funding under the scheme for this area was received from Limerick City and County Council in 2014. The Council was informed that the application could not be approved as it did not meet the minimum cost benefit criterion for the scheme. No further application has been received from the Council to date.
