Text

Minister, flooding has been devastating across the North, including in our constituency, with Newry and Camlough experiencing major flood events in recent years. Can people be assured that the new forecasting service will finally provide support for local community response teams and statutory agencies so that they can deploy resources to reduce the impact of flooding?
