Flood Relief Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-29
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I acknowledge the interim works taking place until very recently, with diggers only moving off site in the last week or so. They definitely give peace of mind to householders, especially along the river bank. There is now a need to maintain momentum and push on with the major scheme. Work and studies were carried out on a major scheme for the area. Is the OPW starting a new major scheme or will it pick up some of the work done in the earlier studies, for example, on the freshwater pearl mussel, and build on it? If so, will the Minister of State outline the steps ahead and the likely timeframe?
