The Minister of State said the amount of office space in the OPW had gone from 357,000 sq. ft. to 84,000 sq. ft. Where are all those people now? Are they all squashed in or are the properties leased? That is a massive reduction.

We discussed flood plains with the former Minister of State, Brian Hayes, a few years ago. As late as this week, someone in my own village was refused insurance because of the maps and contacted me. When the maps were last drafted, work on them was not done on the ground. They were based on previous maps. The flood plains stopped on an incline, because water cannot flow uphill. When the new maps are produced, will they be more reflective of reality?

Will the Minister of State considering moving Heritage Week? It is always held in early September, which is a busy time for those involved in agriculture. We never get to enjoy it. Could the week be rotated, or does that present a logistical problem?
