Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Scrutiny of the Flood Insurance Bill 2016

Mr. Paul Kavanagh:

As I understand it, the OPW has to hand over each project to the local authority and then the OPW is out of the situation. The Deputy mentioned a pump failing. Now there are three pumps in every pumping station, so if the first pump goes the second kicks in, and if that goes the third kicks in. We had a complete display of this from the OPW and it is absolutely state-of-the-art.
