Has your business been affected by city centre flooding?  
If so, we encourage you to engage with the OPW before the deadline for submissions on the €140m proposed flood scheme for Cork City closes on Friday.

Cork Chamber will be making a submission that endorses the project as a positive and much needed step for Cork. We will also seek further refinement such as an enhanced finish, the use of more glass panels at certain key locations, and a narrowing of the construction timeline.

Key information to consider:

• €140m investment in Cork City
• Development of more than 1km of new public walkways
• A new boardwalk
• New public plazas
• €20 million clean-up and restoration of over 3km masonry quay walls
• Better disability access to our pathways
• 3,179 properties including almost 400 protected structures protected from flooding
