I am writing in response to Anja Murray’s insightful article titled ‘We cannot continue to ignore natural flood management in Ireland,’ published on October 30.

Ms Murray correctly identifies natural flood management as a “viable and cost-effective approach to reduce peak flows during flood events and thus help protect settlements from flood damage”.
