Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I have a question for the Tánaiste about legislation. As we know, thousands of families and businesses are still coping with the aftermath of the worst flooding in this country in living memory. On 23 October 2007 a European Union directive was signed which provided a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of adverse consequences for human health, the environment and so on.
