Mr. Horan has said he needs to be able to understand. What are his competencies and qualifications? Areas are designated under the river basins management plan and in the water districts. The CFRAMS has designated areas, as Mr. Horan will know. The federation has been made aware that there are houses in the Old Forge, Grange Castle and John's Bridge estates which have not been flooded since the flood alleviation plan was put in place in 2001, yet their owners still cannot get insurance. What can the federation do about this because its members have refused to insure them? It could not involve those in the 2% which are not members of the federation. The federation has a code of conduct which members read, but they need not take notice of it. How does it know who takes notice of it and who does not? What follow-up action does it take? How many members have been struck off because they have broken the code of conduct, or has anyone been struck off?
