The money will see works carried out along the River Nore.
Over €55,000 in funding is being made available for flood mitigation works in Laois.
OPW Junior Minister, Kieran O'Donnell, has announced the money will be used to service the River Nore, at Teinweir, which bounds Laois on the east bank and Kilkenny on the west.
The works will see deadwood and debris removed, and nearby trees pruned, which are causing restrictions on the river in South Laois, covering around 3.5km.
The money comes as part of the OPW's Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme.
