Cllr Aoife Kennelly and Senator Mike Kennelly Welcoming the Commencement of Flood Relief Works in Listowel and Killocrim
“We are pleased to welcome the commencement of critical flood relief works in the Listowel and Killocrim areas following the devastating floods of November 23rd. This marks a major milestone in our efforts to protect homes, businesses, and local infrastructure from the increasing threat of flooding.”
“We extend our sincere thanks to Minister of State for the Office of Public Works, Kevin “Boxer” Moran, for visiting the area last Friday and giving the official go-ahead for these works to begin. The €500,000 investment now underway will make a significant difference to our community, providing essential protection against future flood events.”
“We also wish to update the public that the Clieveragh flood relief system is now fully operational. During the recent days of heavy rainfall, the system was successfully activated, preventing what could have been a serious flooding incident. This infrastructure is particularly vital for the Clieveragh area on the Ballylongford Road, leading to the Ballybunion Road, where properties and businesses have been severely impacted by flooding in the past. The operation of this system will greatly reduce the risk of such destruction in the future.”
“The 2 million Government funding developments highlight the importance of ongoing investment in flood prevention, and we will continue to work with all relevant stakeholders to secure further protections for flood-prone areas across North Kerry. We are grateful to the Office of Public for this vital funding.”
