Mr. Peter Walsh:

We are looking at climate adaptation and resilience in a way that we have not looked at it before across the network. Where there are areas that have been identified as ones where flooding occurs, we are looking at whatever measure can be taken to ensure they do not flood. We may have difficulties with the extent of powers and what might be possible with downstream clearing of watercourses and so on, because we have no powers relating to watercourses. I take the Deputy's point that raising the road is very much treating the symptom rather than trying to address the illness.
