On page 131 of the programme for Government, reference is made to rapid response units and severe weather warnings. I congratulate the emergency services, the hospital staff who made it into work, residents who cleared their areas and utility companies. Does the Minister accept that there is an information deficit on this? I do not get any sense of urgency when we come into Dublin city that there is a problem out there. We do not know how many people are trapped in their homes. I live in Tallaght and I am still getting phone calls from people about 6 ft and 7 ft snowdrifts in part of my constituency. There is still snow up to my elbows in many of the housing estates. People cannot get off buses because there is no access due to the height of the snow. People are trapped in their homes and they do not know what to do. The information is not available. If we look at Wicklow, Kildare and some of the other counties, such as Tipperary, it is still going on.

I thank the Deputy.

Are we learning anything from these storms and weather difficulties? What will we do differently the next time?
