Major flood relief works confirmed for Raphoe
Government officials have authorised essential flood protection measures for Raphoe to safeguard nearly four hundred homes. The €12 million project will commence soon after navigating the required statutory approval processes.
Minister of State Kevin Moran has welcomed official confirmation allowing construction to begin on a significant flood relief scheme in Raphoe, County Donegal. This vital infrastructure project aims to protect 387 properties, including 267 residential homes, from severe flooding events.
The comprehensive plan includes the creation of two open diversion channels, new embankments, and upgraded drainage systems designed by local communities. With an approved budget of €12 million funded through the National Development Plan, the works will help future-proof the area against climate change impacts.
Beyond Raphoe, the Office of Public Works has committed over €110 million to eleven additional major flood relief schemes across County Donegal. Further details regarding these critical investments are available on the official flood information website.
