I have received the Report of the Joint Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht entitled, ‘Eight proposals urgently required to tackle flooding on the river Shannon, its tributaries and the waters feeding into it’.

I have, as requested, forwarded copies to the relevant agencies under my remit and asked them to respond directly to the Joint Committee itself. I am aware that those agencies have responded. I would hope that those responses will be of use to deliberations on this issue and will contribute to future plans to alleviate the recurring problem of flooding on the Shannon.
