I will get the Minister of State, Deputy O'Brien, to come in on the community services programme. While this is fresh in my mind, I will try to answer as many questions as I can. I will start with the last one. CLÁR money and money for the islands will be ring-fenced. It is a great idea. I was on Inishmaan and did not get back this summer, but I hope to make my way there again next summer. It is the same in Arranmore, where I went one day when I was on holiday. Somebody heard I was coming, got me into a jeep and drove me the whole way to the lighthouse. The road was a right mess. I told the person who had driven me on it that they were right and that we needed to fix it. We put a lot of work into it with Donegal County Council. There is no point in fixing roads if there is nobody maintaining them. The drains need to be emptied and kept clear because if we do not do that the roads will disintegrate again.
