Stage 1: Desktop Review River Flow Path 1.1 Flood History The tributary to the Mulkear at the Annacotty AFRR flows north and west (include review of towards it’s confluence with the Mulkear. Floodmaps.ie) Flood Event Records There are records of eleven flood events for Annacotty on floodmaps.ie. The town of Annacotty is a suburb of Limerick City and is included in the Limerick APSR.

The Annacotty area for flood risk review, based on the coordinates supplied by OPW, is east of Annacotty town – this is the area which has been considered under this flood risk review.

2.1 Ground-truthing Fluvial non-tidal Fluvial tidal Coastal Not available of Hazard Mapping PFRA hazard mapping seems reasonably accurate.

2.2 Spot check Receptor Type Location description Exists? Overall ground-truthing of (if not obvious) Vulnerability selected receptor / Risk vulnerability (L / M / H) There is a public Situated on the left bank Yes Low (also note any key house / restaurant of the tributary receptors noted during visit that are not identified by PFRA)

2.3 Local No on-site comments knowledge - on-site comments (OPW, LA and any info volunteered by local residents during visit)

2.4 Comments on There is a 450 diameter culvert in the corner of the public house car park. The hydraulic culvert may provide a hydraulic constraint. However, this is unlikely to result in constrictions flooding as there is sufficient channel and floodplain capacity upstream of the (bridges, etc.) and culvert. conveyance routes
