Mr. Peter Walsh:

Cork County Council has made a separate application to the Department of Transport for funding relating to storm damage. In terms of damage on national roads, it is limited. The section of most concern is the N25 from Carrigtwohill to Midleton, where there was significant flooding. It is a karst area. The flood water dissipated, but not very quickly. As part of our assessment of needs in climate adaptation, we may have to do something significant with drainage there. We have no sense of the scope or cost of that at the moment but it is an area that was highlighted as vulnerable to lengthy and heavy rain events.
