Mr. David Moloney:

We are considering that point. It is valid. We would like to see more flood relief systems in place. They are complex to establish. We are providing funding of €1.3 billion over the ten-year national development plan, and we will have to examine the matter during the NDP review to see whether that amount is enough. As the Deputy mentioned, the Departments of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and Social Protection have schemes for businesses and households. They are generally structured to be responsive and give an immediate payment and a later payment. However, the long-term answer is to provide appropriate flood relief schemes to protect households and businesses.
