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

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

The concern is that if this happens again, the town could be finished. It is that serious. The interim measures are urgent but the completion of the scheme is vital and needs to be accelerated. People are saying that it might be years before it is completed.
There were proposals in respect of Castlemartyr, which relates to my other question. Those proposals were never implemented. Will the Minister of State check on those and see what can be done?
This is serious and urgent. Lives and livelihoods are at stake.
