It would be helpful if the Department or the OPW can send to the committee information regarding the different stages of a programme like this and who authorises them. I would like to see the details of the joint authority Donegal County Council shares with the OPW, which the Minister of State has said he has referred to on five occasions, and how that process works. I ask that because if the block is in Donegal County Council, then we need to know that.

Regarding Ballybofey and Stranorlar, a start-up concerning that project was held by the OPW and Donegal County Council. More than €157,000 was approved back in 2018, and the total budget is more than €1.92 million. A total of 59 properties are at risk. Where do we stand with this project?
