Groups back OPW’s €140m flood defence plan for Cork

The two main business groups in Cork have endorsed the OPW’s €140m city flood defence plan.

Cork Chamber and Cork Business Association (CBA) have prepared submissions for the OPW before Friday’s deadline which back the project. They also call for further engagement on the finishes of direct defences in certain areas; the use of more glass panels at certain locations; and fast-tracking of construction.

The Irish National Flood Forum has also endorsed the project.
