Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: I shall first refer to heritage sites. Ireland has some of the finest sites in the world. The marketing of them is not what it should be and we seem to have kept them a secret, especially sites not located on the main thoroughfares. Tourists are dragged around the east and west coasts and down the south to visit attractions but they are unaware that there are fine sites in the midlands....

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: To reply to Deputy Sherlock about the maps, I do not think he is talking about flood plains but where the maps have been drawn up suggesting areas are a potential flood risk although there has never been flooding. The insurance companies are looking at that. They are also looking at their own maps as well. There is an issue in that regard. The CFRAM process looks at a range of flood...

I have met with other groups to try to get a handle on everything that is happening and to understand where things are not going right. A memorandum of understanding has been signed with the insurance companies which...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: It is important that we have alternatives in the event that we ask them to insure these temporary flood defences and that they do so but at a cost that is totally prohibitive.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: As a result of the mayhem and suffering that people go through when there is flooding, we have to look at every avenue and try to use every resource possible. At the moment we are providing more resources in the Department to deal with the additional workload coming up. We have to make sure that we get the works done by whatever means necessary and to short circuit it as quickly as...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: A number of things happened before my time, which I may not agree with.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Jun 2016) Seán Canney: The way the reporting is being done here is that what is targeted the following year is some of what was not done in the previous year. If the reporting mechanism is not clear in what started and what is ongoing, it is an issue. The Deputy asked earlier on about Bandon and Skibbereen. Neither of them is included in the figures.
