OPW Flood Relief Schemes in Excel

There are 91 ongoing flood relief schemes, approx half have information websites (linked in Excel where available)

There are 51 completed flood relief schemes (since the first on record in 1997, Gort and Lacken in Co Galway)

The ‘completed’ file gives the total number of premises protected (it would be a load of work to pull this data from pdfs to determine for ongoing/future schemes)

Flood Relief Schemes are typically developed as follows:

Progress a Flood Relief Scheme – this is where OPW and the Local Authority are preparing a tender brief in order to appoint a Consultant.
Stage I – Scheme Development and Preliminary Design
Stage II – Planning Process or Public Exhibition / Confirmation
Stage III – Detailed Design
Stage IV – Implementation/Construction
Stage V – Handover of Works

Schemes flagged with a * are smaller schemes (<€1m) and are progressed directly by the relevant Local Authorities with full funding from the OPW

The OPW data is here https://www.floodinfo.ie/scheme-info/ but you can only sort by 25 projects at a time, so it’s not useful for any analysis
