Mr. Jim Casey:

The Deputy will be aware that we have recently opened two flood relief schemes in Cork. The first, the Douglas flood relief scheme in Cork city, opened a few weeks ago and the second is the Bandon flood relief scheme.

In terms of the question about schemes that are likely to start soon in Cork, I estimate that we could make a start next year with the Glashaboy scheme, subject to a satisfactory tender process, as well as, Morrison's Island, subject to conclusion of the planning process, which we expect is imminent.
