Amharc ar fhreagraA draft copy of a feasibility report for proposed works in the area in question has recently been submitted by the OPW to Wexford county council for their examination. A meeting will be arranged shortly between the OPW and local authority officials to discuss this report and its recommendations. Should a decision be taken to proceed with works under the OPW's arterial drainage legislation, any proposed works would be placed on public exhibition for a period of three to four weeks to allow the public to submit any observations they might have in relation to works.
