Amharc ar fhreagraThis embankment is part of the 96 kilometres of flood defence embankments on the River Maine Catchment Drainage Scheme which is maintained by the Office of Public Works (OPW). OPW is prioritising the repair of flood defences which have suffered damage in the storms of recent years. Prioritisation is based on the severity of damage suffered and the number of properties which are protected by the defences concerned. Repair work on the embankments at Roscullen and Shanakeale will be advanced as soon as priorities allow.
