Fears for Bandon flood relief scheme as work stalls

Concerns have been raised that the future of the Bandon flood relief project may be at risk due to an issue over the contract for the works.

Heavy machinery has been taken away from the site of the €16m project in recent days, prompting fears that the scheme has stalled at a time when construction activity should be at its peak.

The nature of the problem has not been revealed by either the OPW or Wills Brothers, the contractor involved.
