What happened
A water transfer operation is currently underway as part of a flow regulation scheme. This temporary measure is part of a larger proposal for a permanent solution to flooding at Lough Funshinagh. The permanent plan involves installing a 2.35km underground pipeline to move water from Lough Funshinagh to the Cross River.

Why it matters
The permanent plan, which builds on the existing temporary pumping system, is currently under public consultation. The construction phase is scheduled for 2028, following a planning application expected in early 2027. The pipeline will cross agricultural land and two local roads.
An interim scheme has been implemented to regulate flows through the Cross River in Lough Funshinagh, managed by Roscommon County Council.
