I will ask, finally, about the catchment flood risk assessment and management, CFRAM, study, which obviously was a major study. It identified locations or at least where watercourses are. I certainly am repeatedly coming across people who live within a certain distance of a watercourse where they have never experienced flooding, some of them on a hillside. Is the OPW having any discussions with the insurance companies regarding the CFRAM or would that be a matter for the Department of Finance?
