Denis Naughten (IND), Roscommon-Galway

It is important that we have a debate in the House on COP27 but we must not focus only on the issue of mitigation, where the focus is at present, but also the issue of adaptation. In my constituency, families face being washed out of their homes due to the threat of flooding. I raised this with the Taoiseach recently and called for the establishment of a task force in which departmental bodies and Government agencies would come together to address the legislative weaknesses outlined by Roscommon County Council in correspondence with the Government. These are blocking adaptation measures taking place in communities-----
