Mr. Horan mentioned in particular the 2002 event and the work carried out afterwards. This is why I am asking the question. The flood defence unit protection division issued this letter to the area protected to the level of a 200 year event and best estimates on global warming. This letter was freely available to members of the Irish Insurance Federation from the more than 1,000 people with insurance policies in the areas. Is this a good enough guarantee to allow flood insurance in the area?
