Wexford flood relief delayed: half of major schemes behind schedule, 11-year average completion

A review of flood relief projects in Wexford, Ireland, reveals that half of the major schemes are delayed, with an average completion time of 11 years, leaving the county exposed to flooding. The delays stem from planning, funding, and environmental hurdles, and the prolonged timeline increases flood risk for communities. This highlights systemic inefficiencies in Ireland's flood defense infrastructure.
