The Government has committed €1.3 billion to the delivery of flood relief schemes over the lifetime of the National Development Plan to 2030 to protect approximately 23,000 properties in communities that are under threat from river and coastal flood risk. Since 2018, as part of a phased approach to scheme delivery, this funding has allowed the OPW to increase its work on flood relief schemes to over 90 schemes at design and construction at this time.

There are currently seven flood relief schemes at Construction Stage. The following table lists these schemes and their anticipated substantial completion dates.
