Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-28
============================================================

Patrick O'Donovan (FG), Limerick County

I am trying to answer the question the Deputy asked. With regard to the question the Deputy asked about the legislation, this is a complicated issue. One of the bodies, Waterways Ireland, which has responsibility for navigation, is a cross-Border body set up under the Good Friday Agreement. Its powers derive from the OPW, which previously had responsibility for the Shannon River.
