PODCAST: OPW Minister on the timelines for the flood-relief works in south Roscommon

The OPW Minister says he'll be working to have the interim flood relief scheme in place in south Roscommon by April.

An Bord Pleanála gave the project planning permission on Friday - in a major boost to the flooded area. It will see water removed from Lough Funshinagh by a temporary pipeline. Minister Kieran O'Donnell is visiting Roscommon on Wednesday to brief residents and politicians on the works. He spoke to our reporter Eoghan Murphy about the next steps in the process.
