Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Renua Ireland) | Oireachtas source

It is disappointing that the Minister of State referred to the River Dodder almost like an afterthought in the official reply, which, I assume, was prepared for him by his officials. This issue has been going on since 2012. I cannot impress upon the Minister of State enough just how serious this is for the residents. I commend the Minister of State on travelling around the country to visit other flood areas but I urge him to commit to travelling less than 2 km-----
