I would like the Minister of State to pass on to the OPW my admiration of the work it does in many areas. I have had experience of it in the past when I worked with ICC Bank. I was aware of much of the work it did and the property portfolios it managed.
I commend the Minister of State on the flood risk fund and the work that will be addressed in that regard. Could anything be gained from a conversation with Irish Public Bodies Mutual Insurances Limited, which has a lot of underwriting experience with public bodies and their properties and liabilities with a view to risk appraisal for flood risk management? Perhaps if it has a lot of surplus that it does not require in the reserves it might like to contribute something towards the €70 million fund. It is just a thought.
