Mr. Anthony Brennan:

There is a process in place in terms of working with the OPW. The OPW is doing some great work but it needs to share the information with us as quickly as possible to allow us to update our understanding of the risk involved. Where permanent defences have been installed, it is much easier for us to step in and offer flood cover again. Temporary defences cause challenges because we need to understand exactly how they will work in a period of stress.
