The Enniscorthy (River Slaney) flood defence scheme is being progressed by Wexford County Council on behalf of the Office of Public Works as a scheme under the Arterial Drainage Acts 1945 and 1995. On completion, the scheme will protect 236 properties in the town. The flood relief scheme will be funded from within the allocated €1.3 billion for flood risk management over the period National Development Plans 2018-2030. Provision for the cost of the Scheme is included in the Office of Public Works' multi annual capital allocation. The Office of Public Works is committed to funding this project.
