Mr. David Moloney:

Certainly. As I said before, we absolutely appreciate the damage that is done by flooding and the need to put in place adequate flood defences. We have provided €1.3 billion in the ten-year NDP window for that, which may eventually not be enough, but I think the challenge now is actually delivering the schemes, getting the consents and planning permission and getting the schemes up and running. I am happy to get the Deputy a report on the schemes.

As regards our specific responsibility for schemes, we deal only with the ones that, in terms of the consent function, are done under the Arterial Drainage Acts. I think that sometimes that does not become apparent until the design phase is finished, whether it will be done under the Arterial Drainage Acts or otherwise. We will give the Deputy a full report on both the schemes he has mentioned.
