How did we get here?

The OPW, working in partnership with Wicklow County Council and other Local Authorities, commissioned and has completed the Eastern Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Study. The objectives of the CFRAM Study were to:

• Identify and map the existing and potential future flood hazard within the CFRAM Study Area.
• Assess and map the existing and potential future flood risk within the CFRAM Study Area.
• Identify viable structural and non-structural measures and options for the effective and sustainable management of flood risk within the Eastern CFRAM study area as a whole.
• Prepare a set of Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) for the CFRAM Study Area, and associated Strategic Environmental and, as necessary, Habitats Directive (Appropriate) Assessment, that sets out the policies, strategies, measures and actions that should be pursued by the relevant bodies, including the OPW, Local Authorities and other Stakeholders, to achieve the most cost-effective and sustainable management of existing and potential future flood risk within the Study Area, taking account of environmental plans, objectives and legislative requirements and other statutory plans and requirements.
