Louth County Council has received funding of €191,000 for repair and reinstatement works to its coastal protection and flood defence infrastructure.
The local authority were notified of the funding boost earlier today by the Office of Public Works following a recent application for funding for repair works after the severe weather in January and early February.
The funds are likely to go towards repairing areas that were damaged by flooding earlier this year including parts of the Cooley Peninsula and Blackrock.
