Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I read recently that the county council had made a submission. That will have to be examined by the Department, obviously, in respect of the wider damage to the area. That figure is a huge amount, and it is illustrative of the cost of climate change. I have no doubt the storm was a climate event. It is an illustration of how we have to move on adaptation and flood relief. I will come back to the Deputy in respect of the Department’s response.
