Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We have just come out of a very wet summer. Met Éireann figures show it was a wetter than average summer. There were the extraordinary events in Donegal, the debate on which Deputy McConalogue will be leading later, and I know the Acting Chairman, Deputy Eugene Murphy, visited Donegal as well. What plans has the Minister in place to deal with the potential flooding that may arise this winter, particularly given we are going into a winter with river levels much higher than they were this time last year?
