Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I agree. I think the flood relief schemes are taking too long. There is huge deliberation and public consultation and lots of inputs at different stages yet some end up in the High Court and, in one case in Cork city, in the Supreme Court.
That is excessive and problematic, given the emergency. In some instances, we are talking about very significant funding. I know that in the Midleton area, people will be spending more than €100,000 with no guarantee that something will not happen in the next 12 months that could render that-----
