Flooding work is held up
7 Jan 1986Work to repair sections of Lower Kimmage Road, Dublin, where the gardens of several houses sank in flooding from the River Poddle is being held up because of lack of finance.
Assistant City Manager, Mr. Sean Haughey, told a council meeting last night that major repair work would be necessary, but the Corporation was awaiting approval from the Department of Finance for funding. Meanwhile council engineers were examining what remedial action could be taken.
Councillor Michael McShane (FG) said people were lucky not to be “drowned on their own doorsteps over the Christmas period” because of flooding.
