Minister gives green light to long-awaited Mayo project
Crossmolina has been devastated by flooding on a number of occasions as residents nervously await the delivery of a Flood Relief Scheme
The long-awaited Flood Relief Scheme for Crossmolina was given the green light today by Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donoghue.
The north Mayo town has been anxiously awaiting the delivery of the scheme for a number of years, particularly in the wake of serious flooding events in 2015 which caused millions of euro worth of damage.
Minister Dara Calleary confirmed that Minister Donohue had confirmed an order for the Crossmolina Flood Relief Scheme, based on the advice of the environmental consultants.
“This is fantastic news for Crossmolina, for its business community and private homeowners who have had to endure the pain and heartache that flooding events have previously brought to the town,” said Minister Calleary.
Once the signed order is published on the Department’s website in the coming days and a notice issued to the public, there will be a period of 12 weeks provided to appeal for a judicial review of the decision.
Works are otherwise anticipated to commence in quarter four, 2024.
