QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager to provide a detailed update on the Liffey CFRAMS?

REPLY:

The Liffey Catchment Flood Risk Assessment Management Study (CFRAMS) has been consumed into the ERBD (Eastern River Basin District) CFRAMS. RPS were appointed as Consultants for the ERBD CFRAMS in late May 2011 and have held talks with the OPW in early June 2011 on their proposed programme of works. The surveying of the Liffey River and it’s banks and tributaries  is due to commence in July 2011 with the Lucan area as their starting point.  Flood maps for the ERBD area including the Liffey should be available by the end of 2013. The full Flood Management Plan should be available by December 2015.
