John Connolly (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

In the aftermath of Storm Éowyn, the Government committed to a full review of the response of the State to the impact of the storm. As we recall, across the west and north west, there were extensive periods of outages of water, electricity, broadband and communications services.

It has had a large impact on the minds of people in that part of the country. Even today, constituents have reported to me an increase in the occurrence of intermittent electrical outages as a result of Storm Éowyn, which happened on 21 January. I am asking that we consider the publication of the report prior to the summer recess.
