Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the impact of the flooding in many parts of the country and the fact that many of the homes affected were built in areas where there has been a history of flooding but where the planning authorities gave permission for housing developments when a more rigorous procedure might have decided that the risk of flooding meant that the sites in question were unsuitable and also that adequate funding be made available to those affected.
