Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Roscommon County Council made a judgment. It was a matter for it, on legal advice, to make a judgment on whether to pursue the pipe, essentially. It took a decision to withdraw. There might need to be some reflection on that. I know Roscommon County Council is now working with the OPW to identity a viable engineering solution to the flood risk. I am told the timeline is this quarter in terms of tendering and appointing consulting engineers. We should try to fast-track that as much as possible. The Minister is going down tomorrow to meet with people.
Emergency works should be allowed to prevent any village from being flooded.
