Mr. Tony Smyth:

It is obviously part of the regeneration of the city. What we will do is ask the CFRAM consultant, whose next step on having identified the extent of the flooding on the maps will be to identify the options for solving the problem. We are looking to him for a price with a view to accelerating the process. The Limerick authorities are also thinking of appointing a consultant for the detailed design. We are just trying to marry the two processes so there will not be repetition.
