Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Flooding of Lough Funshinagh: Lough Funshinagh Group

Ms Geraldine Murray:

Without repeating what Mr. Kearney said, my focus has always been on the concept of relocating. The communities of Balla and Rahara have no interest in relocating. They want to stay in the communities. My family has been in that community for 200 years, going back generations, as have many more families. They want their houses to be secured. It is a human right to have a home. We have homes. There is a solution to maintain those homes but it has not been activated and there is no talk of activating it because of all the blockages Mr. Fallon and Mr. Kearney alluded to with judges and the law, which wins out in the end. That is the main thing I would like to say.
