Yes, I am. However, most of that funding will go towards work that had to be carried out in 2012 and 2013. That is what I have been told by the director of services in Donegal.
The fundamental problem is that the capital allocation is entirely inadequate. There is no cause for the Government to congratulate itself on the provision of €100 million, which is only enough to address the needs of a tiny percentage of applicants. People are losing their homes and being forced onto the streets because nothing is being done to take on the banks, which are behaving recklessly in their dealings with customers in difficulty.
