Amharc ar fhreagraThe 2018 Flood Risk Management Plans identified some 150 additional flood relief schemes to protect at risk communities, including Nenagh.
Tipperary County Council are leading the delivery of this scheme. The scope and complexity of the flood risk in Nenagh, to protect some 60 properties, has evolved and the Council in 2023 engaged with the Office of Public Works (OPW) to assist with the technical assessment required.
The OPW has recently completed preliminary site surveys and a Steering Group has been established to oversee delivery of the Nenagh Flood Relief Scheme.
Tender documents for the procurement of engineering and environmental consultants to progress the design of the flood relief scheme for Nenagh are currently being prepared.
It is expected that the tender documents will issue in Q1 2026. The appointment of consultants will inform the programme for the delivery of this flood relief scheme.
