Mr. Maurice Buckley:

We monitor the water levels in all of the main rivers in Ireland. We work closely with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, but we run a network of gauges, automatic and manual, across the country. That feeds into information on what river levels are and what the likelihood of flooding is. It also allows us to immediately monitor the performance of any completed scheme. On the point the Deputy made, we must ask if the problem is pushed down the river somewhere and make sure the design has been effective. If there are any tweaks-----
