Work starts next year on Cork’s €50m flood protection plan

With flood preventing works almost complete in Fermoy (see report below), the following is the situation in Cork City and other Cork county towns with their works timeline.

CORK CITY: Details of a €50m flood protection plan were announced at a special exhibition in City Hall last month.

Detailed design work is expected to start before the middle of 2015. A number of flood events have devastated the city centre since the November 2009 flood which followed the release of record levels of water from the EBS dam at Inniscarra.
