The Glashaboy River Flood Relief Scheme at Glanmire / Sallybrook, Cork is being progressed by Cork City Council. The Office of Public Works (OPW) in partnership with Cork City Council are engaging proactively to progress the flood relief scheme for Glanmire.

The Glashaboy Flood Relief Scheme 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, and as part of Project Ireland 2040.

The Glashaboy River Flood Relief Scheme will protect 103 properties from a significant risk of flooding.

The tender documentation for the procurement and appointment of a contractor was issued in September 2021 with a return date of 24thJanuary 2022. Unfortunately, Cork City Council was not in a position to appoint a Contractor for the works on foot of this procurement process. However, Cork City Council is proceeding towards issuing updated Tender Documents in the coming weeks with the works scheduled to commence in Q2 2023. Key project partners are working to minimise the overall delay in the completion of these works.
