There also are aerial photographs and much material has been captured. My most extraordinary experience was when I visited Padraig Lyons's house in Milltown, Castleplunkett last Monday, which was on a dry location on his family farm. Moreover, as his grandparents had this farm, they were familiar with the location on which the house was built and there was no evidence of any possibility of flooding. Nevertheless, through a swallow hole of some sort, the house was flooded above its window level. Another extraordinary development was that the Office of Public works has agreed to the building of a decentralisation office in Roscommon town. Although it has expertise in this regard, the office was built on a flood plain. Moreover, by building there, it created further floods in the area. This matter can be solved. A fund is required for those in need.
