Land Commission infrastructure

Summary

Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asks whether local-government legislation will restore responsibility for infrastructure formerly maintained by the Land Commission, which he links to flood damage; the Taoiseach says the relevant reform legislation is already complete.

When the Land Commission was disbanded, no authority was put in charge of the infrastructure for which it had been responsible. This has led to much of the damage done by the recent high tides and floods. Are there proposals under the local government provisions Bill to take over the network formerly taken care of by the Land Commission?
