Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-15

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

When the Bandon river floods at Ardcahan it causes a great deal of disruption for people trying to get to Dunmanway and west Cork and to mid-Cork. The R587, which is the key artery from mid-Cork into west Cork, is blocked when the river floods. There has been a great deal of talk for many years about advancing flood defences and improvement works in the area and much investigation has been done. Could the Minister outline the progress on it as we need to see headway on getting the flood defences improved?
