The Government has committed to a provision of €430 million for capital flood risk management measures over the period 2016-2021 with the annual allocation rising from €45m to €100m by 2021. This allocation is broken down as follows:

In terms of the next five years, OPW will be concentrating in advancing to completion all Schemes in the current Programme as well as a number of Schemes arising from the Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Plans which are due to be completed shortly. The Schemes arising from the CFRAM process will be ranked in priority in an overall national context. However, it is not possible to provide the ranking list at this stage until the Plans are finalised. Therefore, those schemes have not been identified in Table 3 below.
It is not possible to provide accurate forecasted figures on the expenditure planned for each scheme on an annual basis at this point as expenditure on each scheme will depend on timeframes in finalising designs and on receiving planning approvals as well as the necessary tender competitions for civil works contractors to carry out works. The following table sets out the Schemes to be advanced from the current Programme over all this period, the majority being completed in this timeframe, along with the overall estimated expenditure for each scheme over the whole of the period in question.
