Will the Minister confirm that it is his intention to visit Cork tomorrow to inspect the flood damage in the area, and will he take into account the special problem of Fermoy and Mallow?

I am going to the southwest tomorrow. I would have gone today except that I was involved in Question Time in the Dáil and there are those who would have been unkind enough to say I was still missing if I had been absent from the House today.

I am going down tomorrow to look at what has been freely talked about here and in the media for the past day or two. I will make a personal assessment and will be as helpful as I can.
