A series of exhibition events have been announced for the Enniscorthy Flood Defence Scheme, inviting local people to voice their opinion on plans.

The scheme proposes a number of measures to prevent flooding in the town. These include river channel widening, river deepening, bridge relocation, and the construction of extensive glass panelled flood walls through the town.
