David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister what progress has been made with respect to flood defences in east Cork. It is almost nine months now since we saw the utterly devastating impact Storm Babet had on Midleton and the surrounding area. People and businesses are still reeling after it. The Minister of State visited east Cork recently. I thank him for that and for the personal interest he has shown, but what the people I represent want to know now is what is next. When will we see the planning permission lodged and when will we see progress?
