Coastal Erosion
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-02
============================================================

James O'Connor (FF), Cork East

I ask about coastal flooding and erosion. The Minister will be aware that east Cork is a coastal region, and the Minister of State recently visited on this matter. What plans do the Departments have to procure additional funding to bolster our coastal defences? Unfortunately, due to global warning and contributing factors, there is a declining level of protection of our local coastline. I know the Minister of State is aware because he has been down to visit with me and my constituency colleague in government, Deputy Stanton. What is the Department trying to do to solve these issues?
