West Cork town ‘aghast’ over stalled flood relief project works

The minister with responsibility for the OPW has been urged to intervene in talks with the contractors of the stalled Bandon Flood Relief Project.

Residents and business owners in the West Cork town expressed concern earlier this week when most of the heavy machinery, on site in the €16m project, was removed.

Local fears followed confirmation from junior minister Seán Canney that an undisclosed “issue” has arisen with contractor Wills Brothers over the project.
