The flooding at Lough Funshinagh has been an increasing cause for concern for several families in recent years

The Minister at the Office of Public Works is to visit Lough Funshinagh in south Roscommon today.

The OPW is providing resources for the the pipe which will extend from the almost 3kms extending on the southern side of the lake near Lisfelim to Lough Cup and then linking in with the river flowing into the Shannon near Kiltoom.

The project is expected to cost approximately 1.3 million euro.
