Deputy Ó Cathasaigh mentioned using natural methods involving flood plains. That may be appropriate but here is potentially an unintended consequence to it. There is a group of houses in Derrycloney, approximately three quarters of a mile from Mountmellick, that may suffer unintended consequences. If the flood plain is used, while it may stop flooding on Manor Road, it might cause flooding in Derrycloney. Will Mr. Casey come back to me with a report on that?
