Local residents have expressed growing frustration at the slow pace of progress, particularly following revised planning timelines communicated last year.

The committee is now calling for renewed urgency and stronger political leadership, including the continued involvement of Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris.

They say the situation remains an emergency and have stressed that flood classification measures must stay in place until a permanent solution is fully operational.
