Flooding outside residences in Ballyhannon is to be reviewed early this year.

โ€œOngoingโ€ flooding in Ballyhannon prompted Cllr Clare Colleran Molloy (FF) to seek an examination โ€œto determine how it may be best remediatedโ€. Cllr Mark Nestor (FF) seconded the motion.

Referencing the location in Ballyhannon South, senior engineer with the Ennis Municipal District, Eamon Oโ€™Dea outlined it was โ€œa dished hollow between two adjacent crests on the roadโ€. He confirmed soakways would be provided on the adjacent grass margins.

Speaking at a recent meeting of the Ennis MD, Cllr Colleran Molloy flagged that one homeowner in particular had been experiencing flooding โ€œfor some timeโ€ with residual flood debris visible around the location.

No exact timeframe on when an examination was forthcoming from Oโ€™Dea when questioned at the meeting.
