ENNISCORTHY FLOOD RELIEF SCHEME - PHASE 1
Public Consultation Day – Option Selection Stage
Tuesday 13th May 2025
Background
Wexford County Council with the support of the Office of Public Works (OPW) is undertaking the development of a Flood Relief Scheme for Enniscorthy. The Scheme is to be delivered in two phases. Phase 1 of the scheme will involve the removal of the Seamus Rafter Bridge, which poses a significant obstruction to river flow through the town centre during flood events, and the construction of a new road bridge and new pedestrian bridge to replace the Seamus Rafter Bridge. Phase 2 of the scheme will involve the construction of the remaining flood relief works required for the town.
Public Consultation Day
Wexford County Council is holding a Public Consultation Day to gather feedback and opinions in relation to the options being considered and the emerging preferred option for Phase 1. We invite all residents, businesses, stakeholders and interested parties to attend and have your say to inform the identification and selection of the preferred option to be taken forward to planning.
We value all feedback and appreciate any time spent communicating your views. A questionnaire will be available for you to express your views. Members of the project team will be present to provide information and to answer your questions.
The Public Consultation Day will be held in the Riverside Park Hotel & Leisure Club, The Promenade, Enniscorthy, Y21 T2F4 on Tuesday 13th May 2025 between 2:00pm and 9:00pm.
If you are unable to join us on the day, a copy of the questionnaire and supporting documentation will be available on online on the project website www.enniscorthyfrs.ie.
