Catherine Murphy: Could I just ask very briefly about the flooding? My colleague talked about Midleton, which is the place that comes most immediately to mind. Some businesses got up to €100,000, which was very understandable, because otherwise we would lose the businesses in that whole area. The one thing people say when areas are flooded is that their biggest fear is that it will happen again, so...

Catherine Murphy: What about the speed of delivery? I understand it takes time to design and there are processes to be gone through and so on. Is it possible to parallel some of the processes where there are huge outlays, if those outlays can be avoided a second time?

Catherine Murphy: I have three issues I would like to raise. I acknowledge that flood relief is complex. We certainly had some very successful schemes in County Kildare and they have stood the test of time. I acknowledge that it has to be done right and that it is complex, but this is also about looking at the devastation it causes for people. Speed is the big issue here, as is the number of staff. The...

Catherine Murphy: I thank Ms Collier for that. She will forgive me for raising an issue that is local in nature. The OPW has had a number of successful negotiations recently, including the one in Meath and the one in Kerry, in the context of adding to the number of national parks, although I know parks are not a direct asset of the OPW.
