It’s been confirmed that construction is to get underway on the long-awaited Ennis South Flood Relief Scheme.

Minister of State for Flood Protection Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran is in the county town today to give the 4.71 million euro development the go-ahead.

The project aims to alleviate persistent flooding effecting many parts of Ennis and will see defences installed in Clonroadmore, Ballybeg and Clareabbey.
