I have raised the issue of flooding in the Upper Lee in Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary several times here to see if householders and business owners could get protection from those floods, as well as peace of mind. The announcement by the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Moran, in May which suggested that these schemes were not in the first tranche of works was greeted with disappointment in Ballingeary and Inchigeelagh, as the Minister of State can imagine. We want to establish how we can progress and what plan the Minister of State has to protect people in Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary from floods in the Upper Lee.
