Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-27
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I want to join this conversation, if possible. There are various projects, like those described by my colleagues, that were urgently required many years ago. The need was demonstrated many years ago. Particularly in relation to flooding relief, the emphasis now is on reflooding areas. I would hate to think that in deference to reflooding, we might put on the back burner those projects that were urgent many years ago and are equally, if not more, urgent now. Progress needs to be visible in the shortest possible time.
