David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I ask the Minister to outline Government policy regarding the dredging of rivers and waterways and the upkeep of riverbanks in light of the recent flooding, especially in Midleton and Castlemartyr in east Cork. What State agency, if any, is responsible for this and is there any plan to establish a national waterways agency to look after this kind of thing?
