I am very aware of the impact that flooding has had on Galway city and Clifden. As the Minister of State said, we need to do everything to protect communities in the Claddagh, and the businesses around the Spanish Arch and Salthill, that are so affected by flooding every time there is a storm. As the Minister of State said, these storms are becoming ever more frequent and that causes a huge amount of anxiety and stress for the people of that area. Indeed, we have seen that in other parts of country, as he has outlined.

I wish to ask one final question before I must leave to attend my next committee meeting. I understand that there are 1,400 guards in Harcourt Square and all of them will be facilitated on Military Road. Is that correct?
