Dublin City Council proposes new flood defences for Sandymount
What happened
Dublin City Council published plans for flood defences along Strand Road in Sandymount, covering a distance of over 2km. The defenses are intended to protect more than 1,000 homes identified as flood risks since 2002. The council presented four options, including a new seawall and rock armour revetments.
