Louth County Council has been allocated €114,300 of funding by the OPW for Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Schemes.
The bulk of the funding – €81,000 – is set to go toward a Coastal Erosion Risk Management Study of Dundalk Bay, taking in Greenore, Dillonstown and Blackrock, as well as Whitestown and Seabank.
Seabank in Castlebellingham has also been granted €13,500 to repair the sea defence there.
Menawhile €10,800 has been given to the council towards Annagassan for the construction of a rock armour revetment there.
Finally, €9,000 will go towards the placing of rock armour along the embankment at Bellurgan.
Commenting on the funding, local Senator Mary Moran said: “The works in Castlebellingham, Annagassan and Bellurgan will help to repair and secure these areas in the coming months. I look forward to the upcoming improvements in each of these locations and the contribution of the Coastal Erosion Risk Management Study to be undertaken.”
