Leader Peadar Tóibín feels local authorities are not acting fast enough in planning applications for flood defenses.
Planning applications for flood defences should be taken out of the hands of local authorities if they don't act fast enough.
That's the call from Aontú, which is publishing a new bill calling for better flood forecasting and for the state to fast-track flood defences.
The party wants push notifications to be sent directly to be people at risk of flooding.
Leader and Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín, says the government's slow response to the issue is unacceptable:
