Significant flooding has had a major and devastating impact on the businesses of Cork City since 2009. Cork Chamber has led the way in identifying the criticality of implementing an appropriate flood defence scheme and has been working on your behalf to achieve this.


Cork Chamber has consistently engaged with the OPW outlining the need for an appropriate and detailed consultation period to disseminate the preferred solution for such a scheme. This is vital to allow the thousands of businesses operating within the City an adequate opportunity to discuss the details of the proposed options with the OPW.

Cork Chamber encourages all businesses in flood affected areas to attend and fully engage with the public consultation which takes place in the Cork City Council Offices from Tuesday, July 29^th to Friday, 1^st August from 9am to 5pm
