No, that is not the case. In 2017, this was a much smaller scheme. It was a scheme with €17 million worth of funding, which was to protect a much smaller area. The sources of flooding at the time were not the sources of flooding. We are now designing defences to protect against a once-in-100-years event, where there is flooding in Midleton from four sources. I do not know if the Deputy has met members of Cork County Council to discuss this matter himself.
