Let me finish. The Deputy asked me a while ago to let him finish; now he should hear me out. He is trying to create an impression that somebody or something is preventing Donegal town's flood relief scheme from going ahead. Let me be very clear. The record will show umpteen times that we want it built, as does the council. If the Deputy wants to play politics with it, that is his business. I went to Donegal County Council and I asked the officials if they had sufficient resources at the time. They said they did. In fact, they complimented the OPW on everything else that it has done in the county, which, by the way, the Deputy still has not even mentioned and he is going now for approximately 20 minutes.
