Independent specialists have been appointed by the Government to carry out a review of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted for the proposed €8.5m Glanmire Flood Relief scheme.

They are to carry out the review after it was confirmed that “a significant number of submissions” were received on the scheme arising from a recent public consultation process about the proposed building of defences along the River Glashaboy.
