To follow up on Deputy Murphy's question on insurance, a number of years ago the OPW completed a scheme in Kilkenny city. I had thought that scheme would have resolved the insurance issues but in the past two weeks I have discovered a number of properties along John's Quay in Kilkenny city are having difficulty in getting insurance. That was an area that was constantly flooded before the scheme. Where do they go with that query? Is the Department involved in any way in investigating one-off issues such as this, where residents are affected but the Government has spent so much money on a scheme?
