The OPW has assessed three options for works at Springfield, Clonlara, but all failed a cost-benefit analysis.
Instead, works will be carried out by Clare County Council, under a Minor Works Scheme and the local authority has told Clare FM they have applied for funding for the appointment of a consultant to find solutions to the flood problems.
Clonlara Councillor Michael Begley thinks using the Minor Works Scheme may be the quickest solution.
