Insurance Coverage
Dail Éireann — 2026-02-10
============================================================

Shay Brennan (FF), Dublin Rathdown

I appreciate the Minister of State's and the Department's proactive interaction with the insurance industry. Will he confirm whether his Department's engagements with the insurance industry have included discussions about the role insurers could play in preventing future flooding? In particular, has he explored the possibility of insurance companies contributing in some way to resilience measures such as funding local flood prevention works, supporting community level defences, or even co-operating on schemes that reduce the risks for households and businesses to prevent reoccurrence?
