Minister Kevin Boxer Moran has approved an additional €12,600 for coastal erosion measures in Inver. The funding follows a discussion in the Seanad where Senator Manus Boyle raised concerns about flooding and erosion in the region.
Minister Moran confirmed that Donegal County Council is finalizing an application for emergency flood mitigation measures. The council is seeking approval for a package of interventions aimed at reducing flood risks in the area. The funding will support immediate actions to stabilize the coastline and prevent further damage.
The issue of coastal erosion has been a growing concern for local authorities in Inver and Killybegs. Recent weather patterns have increased the risk of flooding, prompting calls for urgent action. The additional funding is part of a broader effort to address environmental challenges facing the region. The council’s application for emergency measures is expected to be submitted soon, with the hope of securing further support from national agencies.
