Description

Last week the heavy rain and flooding highlighted Ireland’s lack of flood defence and the issues surrounding flood relief, leaving many people across the country in despair.   

In light of that, today Aontú Leader and TD for Meath West Peadar Toibín will introduce a Private Members' Bill aimed at reforming Ireland's flood forecasting system and speeding up the delivery of flood defences.
