There is just one other point of reassurance. After the 2009 flood, the Office of Public Works allocated funding of €117,000 to then Limerick County Council to carry out minor works and that would have been informed by what happened in 2009-2010. To date, there was one allocation for Castleconnell and Montpelier of €54,000 and another €63,000 was allocated. There is some of that funding still to be drawn down. The OPW recognised in 2009 that there is a problem and funding was given. Obviously, 2015 has changed that totally.
