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

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

I know the Minister of State will agree that this has gone on for far too long. He referred to 17 November. I was told this scheme would start this year. Going forward, from 17 November, with the full information being there, when will it be signed off? When will construction start? There needs to be clear communication with the people of Crossmolina. The Minister of State knows what happened there in 2015 and that they have been watching the floods happening all over the country in recent weeks. Businesses have stocked up for Christmas and they are scared of their lives that they will lose all their stock. Many of them do not have insurance because of what happened before. The stress of all of this on top of everything else is too much for businesses to bear. When will construction begin?
