Mr. Maurice Buckley:

We can come back to the design of the schemes, but on the Deputy's point, we link in with the local authorities, Irish Water and other agencies involved. I certainly do not want to say it is somebody else's responsibility and, therefore, we are not interested. That is not the case at all. My understanding of 2020, which I was just recalling while the Deputy was speaking, was that in August 2020 there was an incredible downpour of rain in the Skibbereen area. That cannot be predicted and will happen, I am afraid, more and more often. It can happen anywhere in the country. It happens all over Europe. It is almost impossible to design for that. I reassure the Deputy, however, that the flooding that occurred in Skibbereen was on the N71, the approach road, due to culverts on the road and, to the best of my understanding, properties were not flooded during that event, thankfully.
