The Flood Relief Minister says The Shannon Flood Risk State Agency Co-ordination Working Group is evaluating the merits of ‘localised dredging’.
Sean Canney has also told the Dáil that a trial reduction in water levels at Lough Allen will be introduced this winter to help prevent flooding along the Shannon.
