Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

This is an issue the Deputy has been a strong advocate on, and as he says, completing proper flood defences makes a massive difference. That is something we need to see stepped out in all of those towns and villages that face challenges. I take on board the point the Deputy is making on the plans and the appointment of a contractor. I will liaise with the Office of Public Works on that and on the points the Deputy raises. We need to see the investment that is being committed to and the plans that are under way delivered as quickly as we possibly can in order that people can have confidence that the defences for their homes and businesses are in place in the event that we see future weather events, which we all know will be more common in the time ahead.
