Wicklow County Council have within the past week submitted to the Office of Public Works applications for funding for flood mitigation works in a number of locations in the County. The proposed works include widening of channels, replacement of gullies, alteration of bridges and provision of a flood warning system. The OPW are currently considering the applications, in conjunction with applications received from other Local Authorities, having regard to overall availability of resources.
