Seanad Éireann — 2025-02-25
============================================================

Dara Calleary (FF), Mayo

I assure the Senator I will continue to engage with him and the Seanad on the response and on building resilience in not just rural communities but urban ones. Generators are not necessarily going to be the answer to everything. It is not as easy as some people make it out to be. Irish Water has already made plans to acquire 100 generators in the immediate future. We will have a range of emergency hubs that are fully equipped and that can be stood up relatively immediately in response to the next challenge. We are making the funding arrangements and also the logistical arrangements for that as we speak and I will continue to keep the Seanad updated.
