The pumping system at Lough Funshinagh will be switched later this week. The interim flood relief scheme will see water pumped from Lough Funshinagh and discharged into the Cross River, located within the townland of Carrick in County Roscommon. This involves 2.5 kms of piping bringing excess water from the lake, through the Curraghboy area to the Cross River. The pipes have been place on the surface of the land and the pumping will be controlled to ensure that no issues arise downstream.
