The Glashaboy Flood Relief Scheme at Glanmire / Sallybrook, Cork was confirmed in January 2021 by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform under the Arterial Drainage Acts 1945 to 1995. The scheme is being funded from the €1.3 billion in flood relief measures under the National Development Plan to 2030, as part of Project Ireland 2040. Provision for the total project budget for this scheme is included in the Office of Public Works multi annual capital allocation. The Office of Government Procurement Inflation/Supply Chain Delay Co-operation Framework Agreement, published on 20thMay 2022 will help address the appropriate inflationary costs.
The Glashaboy River Flood Relief Scheme will protect 103 properties from a significant risk of flooding.
There is currently a procurement process underway to appoint a contractor for the Glashaboy Flood Relief Scheme. As the procurement process is ongoing it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment.
