Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-26
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

This question is related to the previous one, except it is looking into the future. I acknowledge the Minister of State's work and interest in this area in the past and most recently as well. The implementation of the Midleton flood relief scheme is a matter of great concern to people in the region. They are concerned that what happened last Wednesday, when a rain bomb landed on east Cork, west Waterford and other areas and caused such devastation and damage, will happen again. They want to know what progress has been made, what is the timeline, what is the scale, when are they going to see progress and whether there are any measures that can be enacted in the interim.
