€2.6m in funding for ‘interim flood defence’ works in Wexford – ‘Now let’s get on with putting the measures in place’

Three months on from one of the worst flooding events in the county’s history, Wexford has received €2.6m funding for interim flood defence works in Enniscorthy, Bunclody, and Bridgetown. In late January of this year Storm Chandra caused the River Slaney to burst its banks, leading to widescale damage across Enniscorthy, Bunclody, and the surrounding areas.
