Ceist:144 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for the Environment the consideration, if any, he will give to an independent inquiry into all the circumstances of the recent serious flooding in Clonmel, County Tipperary, and the consequences which resulted from it; and if so, if funding will be made available for such an inquiry in order that practical steps can be taken to prevent such flooding in the future and to ensure equitable treatment of those who suffered losses as a result.
