Cuirim fáilte riomh an Aire Stáit. The burning issue when dealing with the Estimates is that the OPW is currently reviewing the most appropriate means of achieving its required capital rescheduling of €3 million in the flood risk management area. The big question for many of the community groups the Minister of State has worked with on the alleviation of flooding in their areas is whether there will be an impact on the timing of their project. I understand the knock-on effects of this rescheduling have not been identified. Can the Minister of State give comfort to those groups that have made applications and have been part of the CFRAM programme either as priority projects or further down the line that they will not see a delay in the flood relief and mitigation measures in their communities?
