Delay in €8m flood prevention scheme a setback for Glanmire

An €8m flood prevention plan for a Cork satellite town has been delayed because a review is being undertaken of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and it also awaits sanction from the minister for public expenditure and reform.

The delay in the Glashaboy Flood Relief Scheme will be a setback for scores of householders and business owners in Glanmire who suffered from serious flooding on June 28, 2012.
