A hydrological survey has been received by the Galway County Council for the Moycullen area, and will be examined with regard to seeking funding for flood prevention works in the village.
A separate application to the Office of Public Works for a minor works grant required a more in-depth study of the underground channels and the old storm water network which has resulted in flooding in the area.
Fine Gael senator Seán Kyne has said Moycullen had endured flood risk for a number of years and that it was “important to agree the best option” to solve the issue.
