I thank the Minister of State for his response. NSO 8 covers a variety of topics. As I mentioned at the outset, the issues around flooding and flood prevention schemes are most pertinent to me. It is my understanding that is also included under NSO 8. If the Minister of State does not have the details of the 150 active schemes at the moment, I would appreciate if he could provide a breakdown as supplementary information, of how many of those schemes have commenced; how many are pending environmental impact assessments, EIAs or further EIAs; how many are out to public consultation; how many are caught up in planning permission and whether there are any judicial review challenges.

Will the Minister of State provide, by way of supplementary reply, any timeline for completion of those various flood relief schemes right across the country?
