INTRODUCTION
The objective of the PFRA is to identify areas where the risks associated with
flooding might be significant. These areas (referred to as Areas for Further
Assessment, or AFAs) are where more detailed assessment will then be
undertaken to more accurately assess the extent and degree of flood risk, and,
where the risk is significant, to develop where possible measures to manage
and reduce the risk. The more detailed assessment, that will focus on the AFAs,
will be undertaken through Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and
Management (CFRAM) Studies (see Section 1.1.2).
The Floods Directive (see Section 1.1.1) does not provide a definition for
significant flood risk. A highly prescriptive definition is not suitable given the
preliminary nature of the PFRA, but guiding principles are set out in Section 6. It
should however be remembered that, while flooding of one home will be
traumatic to the owner or residents of that home, the PFRA needs to consider
what is nationally or regionally significant flood risk.
The PFRA has been undertaken by:
Directive 2007/EC/60 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and
management of flood risks
Page 1 of 32
March 2012
The Floods Directive was transposed into Irish law by Statutory Instrument (SI)
No. 122 of 20102. The SI sets out the responsibilities of the Office of Public
Works (OPW The designated Competent Authority for the Floods Directive)
and other public bodies in the implementation of the Directive.
1.1.2. The CFRAM Studies
The National CFRAM Programme was initiated to implement some of the key
recommendations of the Report of the Flood Policy Review Group3. In
particular, it was developed to prepare flood maps and flood risk management
plans, focusing on areas where the risk is understood to be most significant.
These areas of focus (the AFAs) are being identified through the Preliminary
Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA).
The CFRAM Studies were commissioned during 2011 and early 2012, and will
produce detailed flood maps for the AFAs in 2013, in line with the EU Floods
Directive. The Studies will also produce Flood Risk Management Plans in 2015
that will set out a long-term strategy and defined and prioritised measures, to
reduce and manage the flood risk.
1.2.
The Floods Directive requires Member States to publish the PFRA once
completed. However, the OPW has also publicly consulted on a draft of the
PFRA before it was finalised, published and reported to the European
Commission.
This report sets out the approach, methodologies and outcomes of the PFRA
and was issued for public consultation. Details of the outcome of the public
consultation process are available from the Report on the Designation of Areas
for Further Assessment, which is available on the National CFRAM Programme
website. No changes to the PFRA process were deemed necessary as a result
of the consultation process and submissions received.
The PFRA has however involved extensive work and it is not possible to
provide all relevant information in one report. This report therefore provides only
an overview of the PFRA.
More detailed information on a range of aspects of the PFRA is provided in a
number of technical reports. These reports are listed in Appendix B, and are
available from the National CFRAM Programme website, www.cfram.ie, along
with PFRA maps that indicate:
Probable and possible Areas for Further Assessment (AFAs) (Section 6).

PFRA PROCESS
Three key approaches have been used in undertaking the PFRA to identify the
AFAs. These are:
FLOOD RISK
Page 3 of 32
March 2012
2.3.
Natural Sources:
o Rivers (fluvial, including increased flow from snowmelt)
o Sea (coastal and tidal)
o Groundwater
o Rainfall (pluvial)
o Tsunami (due to earthquakes, seabed landslips)
Infrastructural Sources:
o Urban Storm-water Drainage Systems (due under capacity)
o Reservoirs (due to breach of walls / embankments)
o Water Supply Systems (due to burst water mains)
o ESB Infrastructure (hydropower dams and embankments)
o Waterways Ireland Infrastructure (embanked canals)
Floods from sewerage systems (i.e., foul sewers) have been excluded from the
scope of the PFRA on the basis that:
They are typically localised and hence would generally cause limited
damage.
Floods could also arise from sources other than those listed above. However,
these would typically include floods for which the adverse consequences would
never be deemed to be Significant, or which could not reasonably be predicted
to occur, at any given location, based on the combination of their probability and
degree of consequence. As such, these types of floods are excluded from the
scope of the PFRA. Examples of such floods might include:
2.4.
CONSEQUENCES OF FLOODING
The Floods Directive [Article 2(2)] defines flood risk as including potential
adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and
economic activity. The ways in which each of these consequences have been
considered are outlined in the following sections.

INTRODUCTION
The assessment of floods that have happened in the past arising from
infrastructure failure (Section 3.4)
In 2006 the OPW launched the national flood hazard mapping website. This
website displays the locations, and where available the extents, of flood events
that have happened in the past and makes available a range of supplementary
information, such as photographs, reports and newspaper articles, related to
those past events.
The information provided through the website is that which was held and made
available by the OPW, Local Authorities and a range of other Government
Departments and agencies during the national data collection and verification
project to develop the national flood mapping website, or which has been
captured and entered for floods that have happened since the launch of the
website. The database underlying the national flood mapping website contains
information on over 5,000 past flood events throughout the country.
Page 5 of 32
March 2012
The majority of the information provided through the website relates to floods
from natural sources of flooding (see Section 2.3), although there are no
records on tsunami floods given the absence of any recent events (see Section
3.3.2.2). Information on a limited number of past flood events from
infrastructural sources are provided, but it was considered that these records
should be supplemented by additional data collection under the PFRA process
through the relevant authorities (see Section 3.4).
To further supplement the above information, the knowledge of OPW staff on
past floods and areas prone to flooding was also captured.

Other earthquakes have since occurred in the same area as the 1755 event
without observation of tsunami waves affecting Ireland. Other reports of large
waves have also been recorded, but it is not clear that these are due to tsunami
rather than other surge or meteorological causes.
3.3.3. Historic Risk
For a small minority of the past floods in the database of the flood hazard
mapping website, information was available on the damage caused by the
floods, i.e., financial damage or the number of properties flooded. This
information was used in the PFRA as set out below.
3.3.3.1. Financial Damage
The financial damage information available for past floods was reviewed and
validated. The locations and events for which valid (i.e., community-specific
rather than regional) financial damage was made available are listed in
Appendix C.2. The way this information was used in designating AFAs is set out
in Section 3.5.
Page 7 of 32
March 2012
As the financial damage for all of the communities listed is substantial, all of the
communities have been designated as probable or possible AFAs (see Section
6).
3.3.3.2. Properties Flooded
Towns, Townlands and other spatial areas (see Section 3.3.1) for which
information was available on the number of properties flooded during a past
event were assigned a historic risk category based on the criteria set out in
Table 3.2.

The locations and events for which the number of properties flooded was
available and provided to the OPW are listed in Appendix C.3. The way this
information was used in designating AFAs is set out in Section 3.5.
3.4.
Reservoirs
It should be noted that foul sewerage systems are excluded from the scope of
the PFRA (see Section 2.2), and that floods from combined sewerage systems
are caused in the same way as storm-water drainage systems, and are hence
included under that category.
The Local Authorities have reported during the PFRA preparation process
further information (i.e. information not included in the database underlying the
flood hazard mapping website) on notable past floods arising from
infrastructural sources in the locations set out in Appendix C.4.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS
4.1.
INTRODUCTION
Historic flood event information is, by its nature, limited only to areas and
location where past floods have happened and where information on those
floods has been captured. An alternative method of assessing flood risk is by
using what is called a predictive approach, i.e., by examining the potential
extent and resulting damages of floods that could happen in the future.
This involves the use of computational models, data on topography and
analysis of flood flows and flood levels that could happen in the future to
determine areas potentially prone to flooding (the hazard), and an assessment
of the damage that could arise in the event of flooding (the consequences).
The flood risk is a function, or combination, of the hazard and consequences.
The Floods Directive [Article 4(d)] makes it optional as to whether or not
Member States undertake a predictive assessment (i.e., an assessment of the
potential consequences of future floods). The OPW has determined that it is
appropriate for a predictive assessment to be undertaken for Ireland, given the
lack of available information on past flood extents, and the broader need for
flood maps with a national coverage.
This section sets out how the predictive assessmen was undertaken, including
the preparation of indicative flood maps, the assessment of potential damage
that could arise if different types of assets were to flood, and how the risk
assessment was undertaken on the basis of this information.
4.2.
As outlined above, flood risk is a combination of flood hazard and the potential
consequences arising. A common and useful way for representing flood hazard
is by way of flood maps that show the projected extents of flooding for a given
likelihood, or probability, of flooding. An example of a flood map is shown in
Figure 4.1, where the predicted flood extents are shown for three flood event
probabilities, with different shades of blue indicating the areas projected to be
prone to flooding for different probabilities or likelihood.
The likelihood of a flood is typically expressed as the percentage probability of a
given severity of flood occurring or being exceeded at a given location in any
given year. For example, a 1% annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood has
a 1%, or 1 in a 100, chance of occurring or being exceed this year, or next year,
or the following year, etc. The 1% flood is often referred to as the 100-year flood
because, on average over a long period of time, it is likely to occur or be
exceeded once every hundred years. However, it should be noted that this
return period is a long-term average, and it is possible that the 1% (or 100-year)
flood could happen twice in two years, and then possibly not for another 200
years.

To determine fluvial flood levels and then flood extents, using any level of
hydraulic analysis, estimates of the flood flows are required. The OPW
generated flood flow estimates for a range of flood event probabilities at major
nodes every 500m, and upstream and downstream of confluences, on the entire
river network in the country (based on the EPA blue-line GIS data). These
were generated using equations derived through the OPW Flood Studies
Update research programme. A typical Irish river will carry what is called the
mean annual flood in-bank, with flows greater than this spilling out as flood
water. The out-of-bank, or flood, flow was hence determined at the nodes by
deducting the mean annual flood flow from the derived flood flow for the
relevant flood event probability.
At each major node, and at intermediate nodes at 100m spacing, a floodplain
cross-section was derived from the OPWs national Digital Terrain Model
(DTM), which is a computer model of the topography of surface of the land. A
hydraulic calculation, using Mannings equation, was then used to calculate a
flood level for the given out-of-bank flood flow, based on the cross-section,
slope and resistance to flow. This level was extrapolated across the crosssection derived as above to identify the outer extents of the flood on that crosssection. The outer extents of the flood were then joined up (linearly) to create a
map of the projected flood extents. This process was undertaken, for the
national river network for all nodes with a catchment area greater than 1 km2,
for three flood event probabilities (the 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP events) to create
the indicative national fluvial flood maps.
It should be noted that the maps have certain limitations and potential sources
of local error, notably:
Local errors in the DTM: For example, where bank-side vegetation was
not filtered out of the DTM, the flood levels are likely to be overestimated
Flood defences: The method does not take account of flood defences
Further, Some buildings and other infrastructure may be shown as being within
the flooded area, but may in reality be above the flood level.
The indicative national fluvial flood maps were included in the Draft PFRA
Maps, provided in a separate volume, for the purposes of consultation on the
PFRA.

The methods (and maps) do not take account of (or represent flooding
from) wave action or overtopping
These indicative national coastal flood maps were included in the Draft PFRA
Maps, provided in a separate volume, for the purposes of consultation on the
PFRA.
4.2.3. Indicative Groundwater Flood Mapping
A project was commissioned, and undertaken by Mott MacDonald Ltd, to
prepare indicative groundwater flood maps suitable for the PFRA. A Technical
Report8 describes the process for the development of these maps in detail. Set
out below is a summary description of the process and the mapping produced.
The methodology used to map areas potentially prone to groundwater flooding
was evidence-based and incorporates the experience of groundwater experts at
the Geological Survey of Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, and the Environmental
Protection Agency. The evidence indicates that the vast majority of extensive,
recurring groundwater floods originate at turloughs, and so this was the focus of
the groundwater mapping project.

Reports, RPS Consultants, 2010 & 2011

It was determined during the early stages of the project that it would not be
possible to develop model-based flood maps for groundwater emergence due to
a lack of data, and so alternative methods were required. The mapping of
potential groundwater extents from turloughs was hence developed using the
following methods, in descending order of preference:
1)
The use of existing mapping of past groundwater flood events (e.g., from
1994/95, and late 2009), developed from ground-based observation, aerial
photography or satellite imagery and the maximum extents observed
2)
3)

EX6335/2.0, HR Wallingford, November 2010
Page 15 of 32
March 2012
The process produced maps of areas likely to flood from intense rainfall events
for three flood event probabilities (3.33%, 1% and 0.1% AEP events).
The maps were adapted to show only the extents where the flood depths were
greater than 200mm (on the basis that depths lower than this would not cause
significant damage given door-step levels above ground level). A peculiarity of
the method also led to the modelled runoff building up where the waters would,
in reality, naturally drain through the river network or to the sea, and so
indicated flooded areas that intersected the river network or the sea were
removed.
The above process has led to the development of indicative national pluvial
flood maps. However, it should be noted that the process has assumed a
constant capacity of urban storm-water drainage systems, and, due to the scale
of analysis, has not taken into account local drainage structures such as
culverts through embankments or other local drainage that would not be
resolved in the DTM at a national scale. The maps are being reviewed and
validated by the Local Authorities to take account of these limitations, before the
decision on designation of AFAs is finalised.
The indicative national pluvial flood maps were included in the Draft PFRA
Maps, provided in a separate volume, for the purposes of consultation on the
PFRA.
4.2.5. Tsunami Floods
A report10, co-funded by the Geological Survey of Ireland, was prepared in 2006
assessing the hazard from tsunami for the UK and Irish coast. The work in
preparing the report involved modelling various earthquake scenarios of the
kind that generated the 1755 tsunami (see Section 3.3.2.2), and how the
tsunami waves would propagate towards the Irish coast, and hence what the
wave heights would be at the coast.
The report concludes that the 1755 event was an extreme event, with a
recurrence period in the order of 1,000 10,000 years11. The model indicates
that wave heights along the south coast of Ireland would be expected to be
typically in the order of 1 2m, rising to 2.5 3.5m in some localised areas.
These wave heights (when added to normal sea level, e.g., Mean High Water
Neap or Spring tides) would result in a water level comparable to extreme sea
levels that would be expected from surge events with a probability of 2% or 1%
0.1% (depending on assumed tide and location).
Given the very low probability of such tsunami events as quoted above, it would
appear that the flood levels due to tsunami would be less than those due to
extreme sea levels of comparable probabilities.

The flood levels at the coastline are however not the only consideration in the
hazard and risk that could be caused by tsunami. The dynamics of a tsunami
could result in the flooding extending further inland than tide and surge flood
events with similar levels. The models required to assess these dynamic effects
are however at present not available for Ireland, and their development would
be beyond the scope of the PFRA.
4.2.6.
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES
The indicative flood maps show areas prone to flooding (the hazard). The other
component of flood risk is the damage that can arise in the event of a flood (the
consequences).
Flooding can cause damage to people, businesses, infrastructure and other
human activities and interests, such as our cultural heritage, as well as to the
environment. These different types of interests and assets (referred to as
receptors) can suffer differing degrees of damage in the event of a flood, and
with different consequences in terms of the impact or importance of the damage
caused. The susceptibility of a receptor to damage, and the severity of the
consequences of such damage, are described as the vulnerability of the
receptor. An analysis has been undertaken to assess the potential
consequences of flooding to a wide range of different types of receptors, based
on the likely degree of damage, and the importance of that damage.
Page 17 of 32
March 2012
The analysis takes into account the value or importance of the asset or service,
the degree of damage or interruption to that asset or service, and the risk to life
that could arise in the event of flooding.
The potential consequences have been categorised using one of five
vulnerability categories, as set out below:

The Flood Risk Index has been calculated for each individual receptor (i.e.,
every house, non-residential property, monument, etc.). The Index has also
been calculated for whole communities (cities, towns and villages), by adding
together the Index values for each of the receptors within the community.
4.4.3. Flood Risk for Point Receptors
The receptors, locations and communities for which a Flood Risk Index of
greater than 150 (greater than 50 for Groundwater flood risk, which can be of
very long duration) has been determined are listed in Appendix E, categorised
by indicative:
Page 20 of 32
March 2012
The environmentally designated sites for which a Flood Risk Index of greater
than 150 has been determined are listed in Appendix E.4.
4.4.5. Flood Risk to Agriculture
As for environmentally designated sites, agricultural land is spatially distributed,
rather than a point receptor, and hence must be treated in a different manner.
The concept of amalgamating adjoining areas or grid squares of agricultural
land prone to flooding to assess the flood risk for a cluster of land is not
practical as most of the floodplain is used for agricultural purposes. As a result,
any amalgamation of flooded agricultural land generally joins up all of the
floodplain for a whole river system or length of coastline into one unit.
Assessing risk under the PFRA on the basis of such a unit (i.e., the full river
system or coastline floodplain) is not appropriate.
With the intention of identifying areas where there is particularly extensive
agricultural land prone to flooding within a certain area, the risk was assessed
on the basis of the area of agricultural land prone to flooding per unit length of
river or coast-line, represented by hectares / kilometre reach.
Maps showing the outcomes of this analysis are provided in Appendix E.5.
4.4.6. Flood Risk to Roads and Rail
Roads and railways can be prone to flooding, interrupting the services these
transports routes provide. The flooding, and resulting interruption, usually only
lasts a few hours, although in some areas can last for days or even weeks. The
flooding can, in severe events, also cause damage to the infrastructure.
The impacts of the interruptions, and susceptibility to damage, will vary locally.
The impacts can extend to the isolation of properties and restriction of the
movement of emergency service vehicles, such as ambulances or the delivery
of emergency supplies.
The assessment of these local impacts and potential damages is beyond the
scope of the PFRA. However, making use of the indicative flood maps produced
through the PFRA, the impacts and potential damages can be examined locally.
They can then be addressed through local measures and accounted for in flood
event emergency response plans.
4.4.7.
Page 21 of 32
March 2012
The locations and Flood Risk Index for areas potentially affected by this source
of flooding, noting the above limitations, are set out in Appendix D.3.
4.4.7.2. Reservoirs
As it has not been possible to undertake predictive mapping of flooding due to
breaches of reservoir embankment of walls with any reliability based on
available or readily-derivable information, it has not been possible to undertake
a predictive risk assessment following the methodology set out above.
4.4.7.3. Water Supply Systems
As it has not been possible to undertake predictive mapping of flooding due to
burst water mains with any reliability based on available or readily-derivable
information, it has not been possible to undertake a predictive risk assessment
following the methodology set out above.
4.4.7.4. ESB Infrastructure
The PFRA Report by the ESB discusses potential future floods related to, or
passing through, ESB infrastructure.
4.4.7.5. Waterways Ireland Infrastructure
The PFRA Report by Waterways Ireland discusses potential future floods
related to Waterways Ireland infrastructure.

The outcomes of the PFRA, taking into account the predictive analysis, are
outlined in Section 6.3.

CONSULTATIVE PROCESS
Consultation with various bodies has been undertaken during the preparation of
the draft PFRA, which is now being published for formal, public consultation.
5.1.
CONSULTATION TO DATE
The consultation to date includes two rounds of workshops (Summer 2010 and
Winter 2010-2011) involving all Local Authorities. During these workshops, the
Local Authorities provided information on areas known or suspected to be at
risk from flooding, and reviewed provisional Areas for Further Assessment
(AFAs) identified by the OPW in relation to fluvial and coastal flood risk. This
information and review has fed into the identification of the probable and
possible AFAs set out in Appendix E (see Section 6).
Consultation has also been held with the following organisations to inform the
process and draft outcomes of the PFRA:
ESB
Waterways Ireland
Discussions have also been held with utility operators in relation to the location
and potential vulnerability of utility infrastructure.
5.2.
As stated in Section 1.1.5, Ireland went beyond the requirement of the Floods
Directive to simply publish the PFRA, and publicly consulted on a draft of the
PFRA before it was finalised. Members of the public and all interested parties
and stakeholders were encouraged to review the draft PFRA and provide
further information on flooding and flood risk, and / or make and submit
observations or submissions on the process followed and its outcomes
It should be noted that the consultation was undertaken in parallel with sitebased validation of the outcomes, which were taken into consideration
alongside the outcomes of the consultation process.
Page 23 of 32
March 2012
Details of the outcome of the public consultation process are available from the
Report on the Designation of Areas for Further Assessment, which is available
on the National CFRAM Programme website. No changes to the PFRA process
were deemed necessary as a result of the consultation process and
submissions received.

OUTCOMES
Section 3 has outlined the historic flood risk assessment, while Section 4 has
described the predictive flood risk assessment, with both being informed by the
consultation process, as set out in Section 5.
The purpose of the PFRA is to identify the Areas for Further Assessment
(AFAs), as set out in Article 5(1) of the Floods Directive.
As described in Section 2, the PFRA was undertaken based on the three
approaches noted above. This required the consideration of the potential flood
risk at each location where some flood risk has been identified through any of
the three approaches, taking into account the information derived through all of
the three approaches, to determine whether the flood risk might (subject to
further assessment) be significant.
6.1.
As set out in Article 5(1) of the Floods Directive, Member States are required to
define areas where potential significant flood risks exist or might be considered
likely to occur.
It is not possible based on the PFRA (a preliminary assessment) to determine
definitively where significant flood risks exist, but it is rather the objective to
determine where, based on a preliminary assessment only, where it is
considered that such risk might potentially exist. It is for these areas where the
State will then invest resources, through the CFRAM Programme, to more
accurately assess the risk, and then assess what measures might be
appropriate to manage and reduce the risk.
This requires a definition as to what significant risk is. Given the preliminary,
and hence uncertain, nature of the PFRA, it would be inappropriate to define
highly prescriptive, or black and white, rules for significance based on any one
of the approaches taken. It is rather necessary to consider in combination the
outcomes of all approaches.
6.1.1. Guiding Principles for Designation of AFAs
Notwithstanding the need to avoid prescriptive rules for the designation of
AFAs, it is useful for consistency and transparency to set guiding principles for
this consideration. Subject therefore to the presence or otherwise of supporting
or contradictory information arising from one of the other approaches, areas
have been designated as probable AFAs (see below) if:
The historic flood risk assessment indicates that a location has a historic
hazard or risk category of 4 (see Section 3)
Page 25 of 32
March 2012
It is reiterated that the above are not definitive rules, but rather principles. The
potential designation of an area based on any one approach / principle is also
being subject to evaluation through the other approaches for a given location,
and if the other approaches support or contradict the potential designation.
6.1.2. Probable and Possible AFAs
The PFRA initially defined probable and possible AFAs. This reflects the
preliminary nature of the PFRA, and the need to take into account the outcomes
of the consultation. All of these provisional AFAs were also subject to validation
during site-visits that are ongoing in parallel with the public consultation
process. At the time of the consultation and validation processes, it was
foreseen that:
It is also important to note that if an area has not been designated as an AFA,
then that area is not excluded from any further action to address flood risk, and
works to reduce or manage the flood risk could still be considered through
channels other than the CFRAM Programme.
6.2.
The provisional AFAs, both probable and possible, related to flooding from
rivers, sea-water and groundwater, based on consideration of the outcomes of
all approaches, as set out in the Sections above, are listed in Appendix F.
6.2.1. Flood Risk to the Environment
While a number of environmentally designated sites have a Flood Risk Index
score of greater than 250 (see Section 6.1.1), it is not necessarily appropriate to
designate any or all of these areas as AFAs.
For example, some of the sites have been deemed to be at risk due to the effect
that a flood event could have on an aquatic species. An example would be sites
with Pearl Mussel, which would be vulnerable to high levels of siltation or
scouring that could be caused by a flood. It would be neither possible nor
appropriate to prevent flood events in the river itself, as to do so would require
strict, artificial controls on the hydrological regime of a river, such as through the
Page 26 of 32
March 2012
construction of a dam and flooding of large areas. This in turn would be likely to
cause significant detrimental effects elsewhere and / or be contrary to other
environmental objectives (e.g., those of the Water Framework Directive).
Similarly, some of the sites may be vulnerable due to flood-sensitive habitats on
the floodplain. Again, it may not be appropriate to prevent large reaches of a
floodplain from flooding, other than in exceptional circumstances. To do so
could cause significant detrimental effects for other species in the area, and / or
be contrary to other environmental objectives (e.g., hydro-morphology under the
Water Framework Directive). It may well also exacerbate flood risk elsewhere.
Finally, flooding is a natural process. Habitats and species will generally adapt
to the prevelant hydrological regime as part of that natural process, and hence
intervention may not be appropriate.
As such, it was deemed more appropriate to ensure that the environmental
vulnerabilities and risk identified through the PFRA are taken fully into account
during the consideration and development of flood risk management options
(e.g., through the Strategic Environmental Assessment or Appropriate
assessment under the Habitats Directive) under the CFRAM Programme. This
would ensure that any flood risk management measures adopted take account
of these risks, and do not exacerbate the risk to these sites or the vulnerable
species therein.
6.2.2. Flood Risk to Agriculture
The PFRA has identified where there is a concentrated flood risk to agricultural
land is concentrated (see Appendix E.5). The designation of AFAs for
agricultural risk has been based on the areas where this concentration is
greatest, taking into account relevant submissions made during the PFRA
consultation process.
6.2.3. Flood Risk from Tsunamis
There is historical evidence of tsunami affecting the coast of Ireland, and
predictive assessments have shown that tsunami waves caused by Atlantic
seabed earthquakes could affect the Irish coast. However, the probability of
tsunami affecting Ireland is very low, and the flood levels of these very rare
floods would generally be less at the coast (or in some locations, about the
same) than predictive coastal floods caused by more frequent surge events.
The assessment of flood risk from surge-related coastal floods in coastal AFAs,
and the consideration of measures to manage such floods, is therefore likely to
also assess and address, to some degree if not completely, the potential effects
of tsunami. AFAs were therefore not specifically designated on the basis of the
risk from tsunami.
The impact on flood extent and risk due to the dynamics of tsunami compared
to tide and surge events is however not known or derivable at this stage.
Further analysis of this risk is required with particular emphasis on localised
areas that could be particularly vulnerable to such floods due to local
bathymetric, topographical and hydraulic conditions, and on the specific hydrodynamic effects of tsunami waves.

CROSS-BORDER COORDINATION
The Floods Directive [Article 4(3) and Article 5(2)] requires that Member States
which share a cross-border river basin exchange information when undertaking
the PFRA, and coordinate the identification of AFAs.
The OPW has a long-standing working relationship with the Rivers Agency, an
executive agency within the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture and
Rural Development, who are the Competent Authority for implementation of the
Floods Directive in the North. Since 2008 there has been a number of
meetings and the exchange of information at both a technical and high level
specifically related to the EU Floods Directive to ensure that there is full
coordination as appropriate.
The methods used for undertaking the PFRA in both jurisdictions are similar,
but have some differences due to different data formats and availability and
different legacy work and context. The thresholds for defining significance are
however broadly comparable.

7.
The process and outcomes of the draft PFRA are set out in the preceding
sections and appendices of this report. This includes the identification of
probable and possible Areas for Further Assessment (AFAs) related to natural
sources of flooding.
Other EU Member States have used similar approaches to the process used in
Ireland for undertaking the PFRA.
The draft PFRA was subject to public consultation that was undertaken over the
Summer of 2011. Submissions on the PFRA were made either to the OPW or
the relevant Local Authorities.
The views and information provided through the consultation process were
reviewed and, along with outcomes of the on-site inspections (see Section 5.2)
and any other information arising, taken into account in the final designation of
the AFAs.
The definition of AFAs based on flood risk related to infrastructure owned by
Local Authorities is a matter for the Local Authorities to decide upon. The ESB
and Waterways Ireland have undertaken PFRA assessments with respect to
their own infrastructure and have concluded that there is not a significant risk.
Details of the outcome of the public consultation process, and the final list of
areas designated as AFAs, are available from the Report on the Designation of
Areas for Further Assessment, which is available on the National CFRAM
Programme website. No changes to the PFRA process set out herein were
deemed necessary as a result of the consultation process and submissions
received.

APPENDIX A
ARTICLES 4 AND 5 OF THE EU FLOODS DIRECTIVE
CHAPTER II: PRELIMINARY FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT
Article 4
1. Member States shall, for each river basin district, or unit of management referred
to in Article 3(2)(b), or the portion of an international river basin district lying within
their territory, undertake a preliminary flood risk assessment in accordance with
paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. Based on available or readily derivable information, such as records and studies
on long term developments, in particular impacts of climate change on the
occurrence of floods, a preliminary flood risk assessment shall be undertaken to
provide an assessment of potential risks. The assessment shall include at least the
following:
(a) maps of the river basin district at the appropriate scale including the borders
of the river basins, sub-basins and, where existing, coastal areas, showing
topography and land use;
(b) a description of the floods which have occurred in the past and which had
significant adverse impacts on human health, the environment, cultural heritage
and economic activity and for which the likelihood of similar future events is still
relevant, including their flood extent and conveyance routes and an assessment
of the adverse impacts they have entailed;
(c) a description of the significant floods which have occurred in the past, where
significant adverse consequences of similar future events might be envisaged;
and, depending on the specific needs of Member States, it shall include:
(d) an assessment of the potential adverse consequences of future floods for
human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity, taking
into account as far as possible issues such as the topography, the position of
watercourses and their general hydrological and geomorphological
characteristics, including floodplains as natural retention areas, the effectiveness
of existing manmade flood defence infrastructures, the position of populated
areas, areas of economic activity and long-term developments including impacts
of climate change on the occurrence of floods.
3. In the case of international river basin districts, or units of management referred to
in Article 3(2)(b) which are shared with other Member States, Member States shall
ensure that exchange of relevant information takes place between the competent
authorities concerned.
4. Member States shall complete the preliminary flood risk assessment by 22
December 2011.
Appendix A
March 2012
Article 5
1. On the basis of a preliminary flood risk assessment as referred to in Article 4,
Member States shall, for each river basin district, or unit of management referred to
in Article 3(2)(b), or portion of an international river basin district lying within their
territory, identify those areas for which they conclude that potential significant flood
risks exist or might be considered likely to occur.
2. The identification under paragraph 1 of areas belonging to an international river
basin district, or to a unit of management referred to in Article 3(2)(b) shared with
another Member State, shall be coordinated between the Member States concerned.

PROBABLE AND POSSIBLE AREAS FOR FURTHER
ASSESSMENT
Set out in Table F.1 below are the probable and possible AFAs respectively
related to natural sources of flooding (fluvial, sea water, groundwater). The
principles and process for designation of AFAs is set out in Section 6.1.
The table does not include probable or possible AFAs related to
environmental or agricultural risk (see Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2).
Probable and possible AFAs related to infrastructure owned and operated by
the local authorities will be designated by the local authorities, taking into
account the views and submissions made through the consultation process on
the draft PFRA, subject to scrutiny of the OPW as Competent Authority for the
implementation of the Floods Directive in Ireland.
The ESB and Waterways Ireland have determined that there are no AFAs
related to infrastructure that they own and operate.
