Flood Relief: Statements.
9:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)
On the climate change issue, Met Éireann stated such events have happened before and are within the realms of natural variability. Housing development is a major factor in flooding throughout the world. When will the climate change adaptation strategy be ready? A warning system will be part of that. In 2004, some €1 million was supposed to be provided to Met Éireann for such a system. Why has it taken so long to implement that recommendation of the flood review group report?
