Cahill thanked the OPW and Minister Patrick O’Donovan for working with him in relation to this issue and acknowledged the particularly dedicated effort that local Cllr Seamus Hanafin put into securing this funding.
Commenting on this today, Cahill said: “I am delighted to receive confirmation from the OPW this afternoon that they have signed off on funding for flooding works at Galbertstown, Holycross.”
The Thurles man continued to say that “€76,500 has been approved for Tipperary County Council to carry out works locally. This will allow for the construction of a new surface water storm drain, 400m in length, including manholes and chambers and civils works, and outfall to an existing open drain.
