Work is to begin on the Glanmire flood relief scheme before June this year and will take 24 months to complete, the minister for the Office of Public Works has said.
The Glashaboy river flood relief scheme, estimated to cost some €14m, which has been in the pipeline since 2012 after flood water rose to 4ft in some homes and businesses, has hit numerous delays.
