Flood defence workshops ahead of public consultation

A flood prevention workshop for businesses takes place in Cork tomorrow ahead of a public consultation later this month on a new flood defence system for the city.

Improved river defences, facilities for storing floodwater and changes to the way that Cork’s dams operate are some of the options for a major scheme, due to be put on public display shortly.

Tomorrow Cork Business Association, along with the city council, is holding a number of workshops in City Hall aimed at the business community.
