Already-delayed flood scheme could face six-month wait for approval from Minister

Work on a vital flood prevention scheme has been delayed again and construction on it may not start for another year.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has finally submitted plans for the €8.5m Glanmire project to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Paschal Donohoe - but it could take up to six months for him to approve it.
