One of the great weaknesses of this Government has been its inability to deliver infrastructural projects. There are numerous infrastructural projects in this country that are well over time and well over budget. Flood defences are an example of this. Flood defences in Midleton, County Cork, were discussed and promised as far back as 2017 but despite the devastating floods that have happened there in recent times, the date for planning permission for Cork County Council has not even been decided. Worse than that, the Government cannot even give a date for the interim measures to address the flooding there. When will the Government be able to confirm these important plans?
