Departmental Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-20
============================================================

Denis Naughten (IND), Roscommon-Galway

I have brought the case to the attention of the chairman of the OPW and have engaged directly with him on the matter. I have also brought it to the attention of the local authority. However, I will take up the Minister of State's offer and provide him with the details.
We successfully secured the home relocation scheme but there was also a scheme for farmyard relocations. This is not under the Minister of State's direct remit but it is something in which I know he has an interest. Will he provide the House with an update on any progress that has been made in that regard?
The Minister of State spoke about the pilot individual flood prevention measures that had been applied in respect of a number of homes. Is there any intention of rolling the pilot out beyond its cohort of families now that we have learned from the scheme?
