Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin is welcoming the funding, saying it’ll help alleviate the risk of flooding while work continues on progressing the €5.4 million flood relief scheme for Kenmare.
In recent years, Kenmare has suffered during times of heavy rainfall, with a number of streets and properties being damaged by flood water.
