I commit that I will bring those two projects in Cavan to the Minister of State and ask him to look into them and contact the Deputy's office directly to liaise with him to make sure the schemes are met. I understand that flooding is devastating for anyone who has a home that is affected by it. It causes great distress to families and also great financial distress.

Sometimes you cannot wait for a major flood-relief scheme to be carried out and need remedial works that provide relief in the short term, so I will do everything I can to help the Deputy with that.
