New images released of Lee flood relief scheme

New images have been released showing what changes will be made at key locations after the Lower Lee Flood Relief Scheme (LLFRS) is complete.

Further images of the proposed scheme were released this week including places like Fitzgerald’s Park, Terence MacSwiney Quay and the Lee Fields.

A statement issued by a spokesperson for LLFRS said: “These latest images also clearly show that the scheme has been open to and taken on board the views of the public throughout the ongoing evolution of the scheme’s design. There have been numerous public consultation phases undertaken by the scheme and the Cork public has engaged very fully with it,” according to a statement issued by LLFRS.

The statement added: “The scheme is now at a point when after 13 years of study of the complex nature of flooding impacting Cork city, it is being finalised for submission to the Minister for Public Expenditure & Reform to seek statutory approval.”
