Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I understand that the Minister contacted a number of local authorities across the country to ask them to furnish him with a report of their activities during the adverse weather conditions, namely, the cold snap and the flooding. What has happened to those reports? Has someone reviewed them and compiled the information they contain? Have they found their way into a single document containing recommendations? Listening to the Minister, it would seem like business as usual despite events last winter. As has been suggested, it would appear that no learning has been derived.
