The town of Templemore, Co. Tipperary, lies on the River Mall, which drains a catchment area of 22km2 that includes parts of the Kilduff and Devilsbit Mountains, before flowing into the River Suir two kilometres further downstream. The town has a long history of flooding, with a number of events having been reported over the last 150 years. The most significant of these occurred in December 1968 and, more recently, the November 2000 flood inundated approximately 40 properties.
The scheme has since been confirmed and construction began in June 2017 by OPW direct labour force.
It is currently anticipated that substantial completion for The River Mall (Templemore) Flood Relief Scheme will be achieved by end of Q1 2024. Ultimate completion will be subject to favourable weather conditions and third party agreements, which are being progressed by the OPW.
