Minister Dara Calleary has announced that a budget of €55 million has been secured for the proposed Ballina Flood Relief Scheme.
"I am thrilled to announce that I have secured €55 million in Government investment for the Ballina Flood Relief Scheme. My colleague, Minister with responsibility for the OPW Kevin Boxer Moran, confirmed the allocation to me on-site at Bachelors Walk in Ballina on Friday.
"The project will now move to the planning permission stage. Design works are completed and I would anticipate that the planning process will be as swift as possible so that we can get machines on the ground.
"I have been working hard behind the scenes to secure this project, it was an election promise and I am really happy that such a substantial €55 million budget has been set aside to deliver it," he said.
"I want to thank Minister Moran and the OPW, Mayo County Council and my local councillor Annie May Reape for their support," concluded Calleary.
