The “Tirelbaach” is causing floodings in the municipality of Bettendorf

In the event of torrential rains, or when it rains for a long time without interruption, the “Tirelbaach” quickly emerges from its bed, where many basements are often flooded. DP MPs André Bauler and Luc Emering asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity whether the Water Management Authority had already carried out studies to find out whether there are possibilities for retention and renaturation to stem flooding, and what the results showed, why nothing concrete has yet come out of it and whether there are any problems with buying land.

Question

„Et ass bekannt, datt d’Tirelbaach, déi duerch den alen Deel vun der Uertschaft Gilsdref an der Gemeng Bettenduerf leeft, zimmlech séier aus hirem Bett klëmmt, wann et wärend Stonnen an engem Stéck reent oder am Fall vun engem « Sturzregen » (« pluie torrentielle »).

D’Waasser leeft da bis an den Zentrum vu Gilsdref (Haaptstrooss) eran, sou datt etlech Kelleren iwwerschwemmt ginn. D’Waasserwirtschaftsamt ass « au courant » vun där Situatioun an huet och schonn eng Versammlung zu deem Probleem gehal.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir Ëmwelt, Klima a Biodiversitéit follgend Froe stellen:

1. Huet d’Waasserwirtschaftsamt scho Studien duerchgefouert fir erauszefannen, ob et Retentiouns- a Renaturéierungsméiglechkeeten am Dall vun der Tirelbaach gëtt, fir d’Iwwerschwemmungen zu Gilsdref anzedämmen ? Wa jo, wat sinn d’Schlussfollgerungen, déi aus dëser Studie gezu gi sinn?

2. Firwat konnt bis dato nach näischt Konkretes an deem Beräich an d’Wee geleet ginn? 3. Ginn et eventuell Probleemer beim Kaf vun Terrainen?“

Strengthening the rights of pregnant self-employed workers

Pregnant employees can apply for dispensation from work before their maternity leave, for example if they are unable to work for health reasons. The self-employed do not have this option, which can have a negative impact on the recalculation of their maternity benefits.
DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Mandy Minella have asked the relevant ministers whether paid dispensation from work or an equivalent mechanism will be introduced for pregnant self-employed workers.

Is a pharmacy coming to Bettendorf?

In 2023, the then Minister of Health rejected the installation of a pharmacy in Bettendorf.

Has the Minister of Health possibly already been contacted by the municipality of Bettendorf and could other municipalities get a new pharmacy?

Introduction of skin cancer screening?

Since 2008, skin cancer screening has been available in Germany for all policyholders aged 35 and over. As a result, many cases of skin cancer are detected earlier.
DP MPs André Bauler and Gilles Baum wanted to know from the Minister for Health how skin cancer figures have developed here in the country since 2013, whether such screening would also be useful in Luxembourg and why only figures for melanoma (black skin cancer) are collected.
