Yes. I was glad to hear Senator Landy pointing to the success of the Clonmel flood defences, which is extremely welcome and shows we are not completely at the mercy of the elements in all circumstances. I do not wish to say too much more, except to note Senator Byrne's reference to some sort of announcement from the Government as to how to get the message out regarding the amber and red alert system. He mentioned AA Roadwatch and I believe that is a suitable organisation to use for this purpose, because it has the networks and access to the local radio and television stations. On a lighter note, even though there is a code red in Cork at present, I note that Bishop Colton, the Protestant Bishop of Cork, tweeted this morning his fear that he might be blown away in the wind. Hopefully, Members will be assured that Bishop Colton will be all right.
