Flood Relief Scheme Information

The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for leading and co-ordinating the implementation of localised flood relief schemes to provide flood protection for cities, towns and villages, either directly or in association with relevant Local Authorities. This report page identifies the main schemes underway or completed under the OPW flood relief capital works programme. It does not include projects completed by Local Authorities under the Minor Works Scheme or certain other works undertaken directly by Local Authorities within their own works programmes.

Flood Relief Schemes are typically developed as follows:

  • Progress a Flood Relief Scheme - this is where OPW and the Local Authority are preparing a tender brief in order to appoint a Consultant.
  • Stage I - Scheme Development and Preliminary Design
  • Stage II – Planning Process or Public Exhibition / Confirmation
  • Stage III – Detailed Design
  • Stage IV – Implementation/Construction
  • Stage V – Handover of Works

Scheme County Proposed Measure Measure Outline
Rathdowney Flood Relief Scheme Laois Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Rathdowney Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Rathdowney, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure would consist of a combination of hard defences and storage methods. The at-risk properties would be protected from a 1% AEP fluvial flood event by a series of flood walls and embankments (average height of 1.2m and a total length of 1.3km), along with storage along the Glasha River and the Kilcoran watercourses (approx. storage volume of 135,014m3).
Ballylongford Flood Relief Scheme Kerry Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Ballylongford Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Ballylongford, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Ballylongford that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include: Construction of 800m of new flood defence walls and 1,200m embankments as will eliminate the flood risk within the AFA for the 0.5% AEP coastal event and the 1% fluvial AEP event. Existing arterial drainage maintenance scheme will need to be maintained as part of this option.
Dunfanaghy Flood Relief Scheme Donegal Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Dunfanaghy Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Dunfanaghy, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Dunfanaghy AFA that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or exhibition and confirmation might include physical works. The proposed measure consists of a series of flood walls, raising of the deck level of Dunfanaghy pier and "tanking" of three properties. These measures will provide a 0.5% AEP SoP for coastal flood events. The flood walls are required to be an average height of 1.0m and a total length of 200m. The Dunfanaghy pier would require approximately 850m2 of raising by an average of 900mm. Additionally, a structural survey of the existing wall would be required to ensure it is fit for purpose as a flood defence.
Portumna Flood Relief Scheme Galway Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Portumna Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Portumna, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Portumna that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include; Construction of a 434m new flood defence wall and an 870m embankment. Installation of a simple flood-forecasting unit, including an addition of telemetry to an existing hydrometric gauge to send warning messages when water level reaches a specified trigger point. Public awareness . Raised road level over a length of 20m along the north of Portumna Harbour. Vertical Sector Gate to act as a barrier to flooding across the entrance to Portumna Harbour to prevent the inlet receiving flood water directly from the Shannon. The structure would consist of a set of gates which could be closed after a flood warning, and open during normal conditions to allow the passage of boats. Maintain existing flood defences.
Clane Flood Relief Scheme Kildare Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Clane Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Clane, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Clane that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include physical works, such as a series of hard defences (flood embankments and walls) and improvement of conveyance. The hard defences would protect to the 1% AEP fluvial flood event, with a height range of 0.6m to 1m and a total length of 633m. The improvement of channel conveyance consists of the removal of a culvert and the upgrade of three access bridges.
Old Connaught / Wilford Flood Relief Scheme Dublin Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Old Connaught / Wilford Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Old Connaught / Wilford, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Old Connaught and Wilford that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include physical works, such as a series of hard defences (flood embankments and walls) in conjunction with, a culvert upgrade and channel dredging at the Dublin Road adjacent to St Brendans School, and a flow diversion channel on the Old Connaught River. The hard defences would protect to the 1% AEP fluvial flood event, with an average height of 1.0m (reaching a maximum height of 1.7m) and a total length of 1.1km.
Birr Flood Relief Scheme Offaly Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Birr Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Birr, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Birr that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include; Construct 591m of new flood defence walls. Installation of a simple flood forecasting unit, which includes the addition of telemetry to an existing hydrometric gauge to send warning messages when water level reaches a specified trigger point. Targeted public awareness.
Askeaton Flood Relief Scheme Limerick Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Askeaton Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Askeaton, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Askeaton that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include: Construction of 968m of new flood defence walls and 405m of new flood defence embankments; Increased conveyance from the tributary to the River Deel. This tributary is located upstream of the town centre and flows into the River Deel from the West. This involves widening and deepening approximately 30m of the tributary channel and replacing 130m culvert linking the tributary to the main channel. The replacement culvert would flow underneath the road and the Aeroboard factory premises, and requires a new headwall at the upstream extent to prevent overtopping. The existing arterial drainage scheme needs to be maintained as part of this option.
Carysfort - Maretimo Flood Relief Scheme Dublin Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Carysfort - Maretimo Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Carysfort-Maretimo, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation.

Tidal monitoring to be carried out in advance of any mitigation works to review and determine the design tide plus surge level. Tidal flood Defences along the quays and to the rear of properties comprising of sea walls, removable barriers / gates are included at certain locations to maintain existing access points along with storm water pump stations. These Flood Defences are expected to provide protection against the 0.5% AEP tidal flood event.
Ballybay Flood Relief Scheme Monaghan Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Ballybay Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Ballybay, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Ballybay that may be implemented after project level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include physical works. The proposed measure consists of a series of flood embankments and walls. These hard defences would protect to the 1% AEP flood event with an average height of 1.6m and a total length of 2.5km.

The proposed further measure for Maynooth that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include physical works, such as a series of hard defences (flood embankments and walls) and an overland flow route. The hard defences will provide a SoP of 1% AEP for fluvial flood events with an average and maximum height of 1.6m and 2.0m respectively and a total length of 350m. The overland flow route will be defined by 375m of hard defences with an average height of 0.8m.
Cahir Flood Relief Scheme Tipperary Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Cahir Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Cahir, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The potential measure would protect at-risk properties against the 1% AEP Fluvial flood event by a combination of flood defences, improved channel conveyance and other works. The potential flood defences would consist of a series of flood embankments (average height of 1.2 m and a total length of 265m) and flood walls (average height of 1.2m and a total length of 503m) on the Suir River and its tributary. The potential improvement of channel conveyance would consist of upgrading one existing weir in the diversion channel and upgrading one existing culvert on the tributary river, and Installation of a Penstock Sluice Gate in the diversion channel of the River Suir - 2 m height x 8 m width.
Listowel Flood Relief Scheme Kerry Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Listowel Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Listowel, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Listowel that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include: Increase the height of 0.9km of existing embankments and raise approximately 30m of road in order to eliminate flood risk to the properties within the 1% AEP event. Flood forecasting to allow the community/local authority to ensure that the amenity walkway along the river is cleared and appropriate pedestrian diversions are in place. Existing maintenance regime for the Feale along with a maintenance programme for the improved and existing defences.
Athleague Flood Relief Scheme Roscommon Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Athleague Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Athleague, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation. The proposed measure for Athleague that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or Exhibition and confirmation might include: Construction of a 190m new flood defence wall, 340m embankment and a floodgate to defend properties. The introduction of the above flood defences and their location will interfere with existing drainage. Current flood surface water drainage flows directly in the Silver Stream. During flood events the Silver stream acts as a flow path for flood waters from the River Suck. A series of sewers, non-return valves and a pumping station will be required to ensure that pluvial flooding is also reduced. This would have additional benefits which are not captured within the CFRAM process. The costs of the required upgrade sewer have not been included in the costing for this measure.
Newbridge Flood Relief Scheme Kildare Progress the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Newbridge Progress the project-level development and assessment of a Flood Relief Scheme for Newbridge, including environmental assessment as necessary and further public consultation, for refinement and preparation for planning / exhibition and, if and as appropriate, implementation.
