Fermoy flood prevention work almost complete

The most expensive flood prevention works ever carried out in Co Cork are all but complete and it’s hoped they will bring an end to years of misery and help to rejuvenate a town’s economy.

Since 2009 the Office of Public Works has been working in conjunction with Cork County Council to carry out the works at Fermoy, which is believed to have cost in the region of €38m.

There have been many significant floods in the town dating back to records from 1853.
