The Statutory Instrument also identifies roles for other organisations; such as the Local Authorities, Waterways Ireland and ESB, to undertake certain duties with respect to flood risk within their existing areas of responsibility. In Ireland, the approach to implementing the Directive has focused on a National Flood Risk Assessment and Management programme. This was developed to meet the requirements of the Floods Directive, as well as to deliver on core components of the 2004 National Flood Policy. Pilot Catchment-based Flood Risk and Management (CFRAM) studies have been undertaken since

Matthew was an exceptional geologist with a keen eye for detail and an expertise in numerous sub- disciplines of geology. He was inquiring in the field, had huge output in terms of peer reviewed papers, and gave tirelessly to students of geology, of any age, with diligence, care, and passion. Matthew was probably the driving force behind Geoheritage in Ireland, having initially worked in the mid-1990’s on the then-blossoming Irish Geological Heritage Programme in Geological Survey Ireland, and latterly as curator in the Natural History Museum.
