David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Tánaiste, the Minister for Finance, the Taoiseach and other Ministers who showed massive support to my part of the country during the floods last October and for the assistance for businesses and households. The flood relief scheme needs to be expedited. What I want to bring up today is the need for the county council to be funded. A total of €60 million worth of damage was done to roads and we need funding to be released fairly soon from the Exchequer to fix these roads while we have the opportunity with the fine weather coming.
