OPW Confirm Almost €9m For Clare Flood Defences
Almost €9 million has been allocated to improve flood defences in Clare, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has announced.
Welcoming the news, Fine Gael Clare Senator, Martin Conway, said: "This €8.27 million will allow coastal protections to be repaired and for flood defence works to be carried out. The announcement of this funding is timely, as two new EU studies published last week show how environment policy can spur economic growth by boosting flood protection and by putting a strong emphasis and focus on green taxes."
