How much of the €44.2 million has been allocated to projects? A whole new set of flooding issues have arisen this year that I presume would not have been taken into account when the first Estimate was given in October. It would not have been possible. How much of this is allocated to projects and how much is available for new flooding? How much of the damage from the recent flooding pertains to areas under the OPW's remit and how much pertains to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and so on? Coastal fences are normally the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine or have been in most cases. Where is the dividing line here? What will the OPW be funding to address the recent damage?
