Flood Risk Management

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I thank the Minister of State for the overview. It is essential that headway is made on commencing the work. The Natura impact study was expected earlier this year, and it is frustrating and of concern for locals to hear that it will not be available until next year. I understand that Cork County Council is taking the lead role in the project. Once the various plans are ready, is there a possibility that the project could be fast-tracked through the planning services to ensure that work can advance as quickly as possible? We must also ensure that funding is in place to carry out the essential works. Has there been engagement on the matter?
