Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Large-scale Capital Projects: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Nigel O'Neill:

To expand on this a little, we are in a time of climate adaptation. Rainfall is intensifying in much of the country. What was an abnormal pattern some decades ago is probably normal now. We have looked at the entire national road network in terms of climate adaptation challenges and there are many. It will be very expensive and it will take a long time to work our way through these issues for the entire network. We will have to prioritise. With regard to the particular section the Deputy asked about, we will come back to him. It is part of the climate adaptation work we have embarked on.
