Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Staying with the same theme, I happen to have two questions. It is good that I can explore the issue a little with the Minister. We have a steering group and I am asking the Minister the status of the review by the steering group, where is it at, when will it be published and when will we see the revised project programme. Let the Minister not say that it will be done shortly..

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that he is going to take a personal interest and is giving a commitment. However, there is flooding practically every year in Galway. That has been known about for a very long time. Following the mapping situation, we were into the action. The action was set out, as I said. I do not like repeating myself or wasting time, but this is extremely...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State. He said that I am very familiar with the scheme. Unfortunately, I am not. I am very familiar with the floods. I am very familiar with the promises. I am very familiar with the targets not being met. That is what I am familiar with. I am not here to lay blame. I am here to try to find out what is going on. Have enough resources been given to the local...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: That should all be sorted out. I have a library full of replies. The 940 properties did not appear yesterday. They are appearing in all my questions and answers since I started this process of asking the Minister of State.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The process started in 2012, and when I left the council in 2016, it was finishing the process of identifying the flood risks. We are now in 2024 and all the stages have gone by the board. Instead of construction starting in 2026, a planning application is now going to be submitted in 2027. I do not think the Minister of State could be happy with that, given Galway city is flooded...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I think I am the final contributor. The Taoiseach gave a fulsome address and apology, which is to be welcomed. However, this apology will only be meaningful if it determines the next steps and if it examines how we got into this position. The Taoiseach has talked about how the institutions of the State let the people down. They did a lot more than that; they actively contrived to prevent...
