Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I remember being involved when the decision on a relocation scheme was made. We have an incredibly hands-on Minister with responsibility for flooding, namely, the Minister of State, Deputy Moran. My understanding is that he will make a statement on the issue in the coming weeks but I will ask him to get back to the Deputy directly in terms of where the scheme is at. I assure him that this is not something from which the Government will resile. We will follow through on any commitments that have been made to people on relocation due to flooding.
