The people of Bandon are here tonight to thank the Minister of State for his efforts in alleviating a major worry that could have been in front of them again this winter.

This Bill will give home and land owners in areas vulnerable to flooding the opportunity to insure their properties. I wish to offer my full support to this Bill and I urge others Members of the House to support it too.
