QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the Chief Executive to issue a report on the recent overflow of water from Camac river close to Fonthill Road/Clondalkin Commons and if the response to flooding was considered a success.

REPLY:

SDCC responded to an orange flooding event at Clondalkin Community pitches in July.  Due to the severity of this rainfall event on July 20th - 21st, flooding occurred at this green area. As it was in a green area, no intervention was deemed necessary and the water receded quickly.

This area has been notified to the Camac Flood Alleviation Scheme Team.  This scheme will look at the modelling of the Camac and identify areas requiring protection works.

Natural Water are satisfied with the response to this flooding event.
