Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-04
============================================================

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

I thank the Minister of State for his response. As I said, this scheme has been ongoing for close to seven years now. While I welcome the update, does the Minister of State agree that urgent reform is needed regarding the planning system concerning these types of projects to avoid similar delays for future developments? What role is the OPW playing in driving reform in this area?
