Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As I said earlier, there have been capital works worth €250 million over the last four years. The humanitarian amount is €15 million, pending assessment, for immediate response to the humanitarian issues. We hope to have a full-scale analysis presented to Cabinet next Tuesday from the local authorities, the emergency planning group within the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, the OPW, etc. Perhaps it might be appropriate for the Dáil to debate the outcome of that next week. I am sure the Whip could make arrangements for that. Deputies could give their views on what we must do. We must deal with the immediate, interim and longer-term challenges. Insurance is an issue. I do not have a date for the publication of the insurance Bill as listed, but let us see the full-scale report before Cabinet next week. That can be published and can determine elements of the debate that we can have next week.
