In response to another Deputy, I will address when a local authority proposes interim measures to the Office of Public Works, as Donegal County Council has. It has a good relationship with us, built up over many years. If there are interim measures that it feels would be of benefit to properties in the interim, during the planning stage, prior to construction and during construction, we routinely do those interim measures, in what are called the minor works flood relief schemes. We have a very good relationship with Donegal County Council. We will ask it if it has a proposal for minor works and we will consider it.
