Wexford County Council's CEO stated that temporary flood defense schemes in Enniscorthy may not be sufficient to survive severe storms. The Council secured €2.6 million in interim flood defense works from the OPW. These measures include temporary walls, bunds, and aqua dams intended to protect the town while a permanent flood scheme is planned.
