I have a number of questions. I wish to raise with the Minister of State the issue of flooding. There is an ongoing issue that many householders have in respect of getting insurance for their homes. I know that the predecessor of the Minister of State, Brian Hayes, had entered into discussions with the insurance industry. Will the Minister of State bring us up to date on the position?

I welcome the plans outlined by Minister of State for Kilmainham as well as other projects of the OPW in respect of works in anticipation of next year. No better body than the OPW to be in charge of such works. Its excellence as a State body is well established.

The Minister of State did not mention Moore Street, the national monument and the terraced areas. The Minister of State is aware that this is an area of some controversy. He may not be aware of it, but Kilmainham is not in my constituency, while Moore Street is.
