The scheme, funded by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and managed by Cork County Council, provides protective solutions, such as flood gates, to help reduce water entry through doors and other openings.

Initial property surveys, conducted by independent consulting engineers, are expected to begin in the coming weeks.
