I will gladly do that. I outlined some months ago that in 15 years coastal erosion flooding could be more damaging than ordinary lake or river flooding, such as occurs with the Shannon. I have seen the major problems that exist and everyone turns to me when there is a flood. That area, however, is within the remit of the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, and his Department. I am seeking to meet with the Minister and his officials because I foresee problems arising around the coast. We dealt with one such issue recently in Dublin. It seems to have been a successful operation and has protected a number of homes. I would like to see that approach extended around the country and I will speak to Deputy Pearse Doherty about that during my visit to Donegal.
