Will Ms McGrath outline what work has been done with insurance industry? There is major concern among people trying to get insurance on foot of being in designated areas prone to flooding. One amazing thing about the interdepartmental groups is that they have not met for a long time, in some cases four years and six years. There are major issues that could be worked on and which should be given attention, and insurance is one of these. Will Ms McGrath provide a brief outline on the work the OPW has carried out in this regard? What responsibility does the OPW have, in conjunction with the other Departments, to liaise with the industry to try to ensure people get adequate insurance?
