I am advised that an application for funding under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works & Coastal Protection scheme has been submitted by Cork County Council for a project at Ballintubber, Carrigtohill, Co Cork and is currently under consideration in the Office of Public Works (OPW). Cork County Council will be the implementing authority for the proposed works and the Council will be contacted by the OPW for any further information or clarification required. The Council will be notified when the assessment is completed.
