The two speakers have asked the main questions. I refer to funding which is given to county councils on a certain basis. Roscommon County Council was given €270,000 to deal with the flooding problem in Athleague. When it received the money, officials went off and worked out what they were going to spend it on. Do they not get the money on the basis that they spend it on specific projects rather than subsequently deciding what they will spend it on?
