Lee Engineering and Environment Forum CLG

Lee Engineering & Environment Forum is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that delivers professional, evidence-based research into flood defences for towns and cities across Ireland. Drawing on decades of first-hand experience of local conditions, the Forum provides impartial assessments of flood-relief schemes, focusing on three core pillars: the level of risk, value for money and alignment with best international practice.

The Forum's key services include comprehensive reviews of proposed and existing flood-relief projects, detailed risk analyses, and the production of specialist reports that inform decision-makers and the public alike. Recent publications have examined the Lower Lee Flood Relief Scheme, OPW flood-wall initiatives, and broader strategic considerations for Cork's river-based infrastructure.

Based in Cork, Lee Engineering & Environment Forum works closely with local authorities, water utilities and community groups, offering a trusted voice that helps safeguard Ireland's waterways while ensuring that flood-defence investments deliver the greatest possible benefit.
