Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (25 Sep 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his response. He has seen my frustration. This is exactly the same response I got last July when I submitted a parliamentary question on the matter. There has been no change. In fact, the reply is an awful lot shorter. It is almost an insult. The final sentence reads: "These lands are designed to retain overflow flood waters during periods of heavy...

Alan Dillon: I again thank the Deputy for raising the matter. I will refrain from reading the scripted closing statement. I agree with some of the points the Deputy made. He has a very strong argument in respect of the issue at hand. I will go back to the Minister and her officials on it. We need proper usage of State land when it comes to the provision of services. As already stated, we are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)

Pat Buckley: He probably will turn up. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, for attending. We are here again to raise issues relating to flooding in Midleton in east Cork. I acknowledge the work that has been done on the rivers and so on and so forth in the Moore's Bridge area. The engagements we have had with some of the Departments and Cork County Council have been exemplary, but I have...

Kieran O'Donnell: Is the Deputy talking about IPP?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)

Pat Buckley: Yes. Lets be realists about how the long term flood mitigation plan is long term, but I wanted to flag that with the Minister of State because many people are worried they will not have enough money to even pay for those prevention measures. Gleann Fia is slightly different because of the timber-frame structures there. There were suggestions to the effect that the adjacent land be used,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)

Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the Deputies for raising this important issue. My colleague Deputy Stanton is here as well. It is a major collective interest for the Deputies in the east Cork area. I know Deputy O'Connor is involved in the debate as well. To recap, I visited Midleton after Storm Babet. I am fully aware of the impact that this event and other flooding events in the town and elsewhere in east...

Alan Dillon: I again thank Deputy O'Sullivan for this important matter and providing us with the opportunity to respond with the script that has been provided by the Minister, Deputy Foley, and her Department. While it is extremely regrettable that a number of contractors had issues delivering a service at short notice, Bus Éireann is prioritising the establishment of a new service for the small...

David Stanton: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle’s office for selecting this and I thank the Minister of State for being here to take the debate. I am disappointed the Minister for Education cannot be here but I am sure she is very busy with other work. Of all Ministers to the House, the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, will appreciate what I will say. We have in Carrigtwohill one of the...
