Amharc ar fhreagraLimerick City and County Council (LCCC) is leading on and managing the Foynes flood relief project. The Office of Public Works agreed to fund these works and in December 2015 issued approval to the local authority to proceed. LCCC is currently finalising formal agreements with stakeholders and a letter of intent has issued to the successful contractor and pre-contract meetings have taken place. The Council expects to appoint the contractor shortly with a view to commencing works by mid-Summer. It is envisaged that works will be completed in four to six months.
