Regina Doherty: On the same topic, it is a year since we sat here with the Minister of State’s predecessor and had exactly the same conversation when he said he would keep communicating with the insurance industry and that maybe at some point it might move. It has not moved and is not likely to move, given the new information the Minister of State has provided. He has quite rightly said it already...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (11 Feb 2015)

Regina Doherty: On the one hand it is good, and on the other hand it is a pity to see such an increase in the budget for flood risk. I appreciate what is being done and wish the Minister of State well. I hope everything that he and the officials do yields results. The people we represent do not have any more hope. They are at the end of their tether. Will the Minister of State explain the increase in...
