View answerDublin City Council (DCC) is leading the development and design of a flood relief scheme for the Clontarf seafront, as part of the Clontarf Flood Relief Scheme. DCC has also recently developed a framework agreement for Consultant Engineering Design Services for a range of proposed projects, including the Clontarf Flood Relief Scheme.
DCC is currently engaging with the Office of Public Works (OPW) with regard to the progression of a viable flood relief scheme for Clontarf seafront. The OPW has received a preliminary pre-feasibility report for a flood relief scheme for Clontarf from DCC, and is currently liaising with DCC on this report.
Progressing a viable flood relief scheme for Clontarf, is to be funded by the OPW through the €1.3bn for flood relief measures under the National Development Plan to 2030, and will be in line with the requirements of the Infrastructure Guidelines, with DCC as the Sponsoring Agency and the OPW as the Approving Authority.
