Mr. Stuart Conaty:

With regard to the jobs issue, as we face the extent of decarbonisation and what that means for us as a society, Bord na Móna has had to embark on a major programme of transition. We are conscious of the mandate from Government. That mandate is first and foremost to create sustainable employment in the midlands and to support Government strategy and policy. We have known of this transition for some time. We have plans in place. We developed our first wind farm in 1992. We invested in a new business in resource recovery in 2007. While the situation is now urgent, we are cognisant of the impact that the transition can have on employees and on the wider economy of the midlands. We are actively looking to bring sustainable economic activity to those areas. We believe we can do that in a way that is consistent with managing and living up to our obligations with regard to biodiversity. We see a consistency in the type of commercial developments. We are a commercial semi-State body. We need to be commercial. We will do so to support jobs in the midlands and to protect and enhance biodiversity as much as possible. My colleague might answer the question with regard to flooding.
