Thanks for all that. It's fairly small in comparison to my Nisa which uses bars to select 1 or 1&2 staggered gears to select 0-4 or 5-9 respectively.

A cautionary tale for any one (looking at you @opwireland.bsky.social) Thinking of interfering with water tables and levels with heavily engineered solutions, particularly in hydrological sensitive areas with historic buildings like Cork. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

It happened again. Glashaboy flood relief scheme in Glanmire cost overrun is 316% From €12m budget to €38m cost. This is typical for OPW FRS works. Upstream storage would have been a fraction of this, less than €5m. Now multiply this by hundreds of projects. www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...
echolive.ie
Concern that cost of Glanmire flood work could impact other Cork relief schemes
In 2012, a severe flood caused tens of millions of euro worth of damage to 82 homes and 30 businesses in Glanmire and Sallybrook.
