Cathy Bennett (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I would welcome its being looked into sooner rather than later because the town floods after every severe weather event. It is just not acceptable. Mr. Casey said there is a budget of €12.5 million to be spent, so I ask that the works be done sooner rather than later. Are towns not prioritised? I have looked at the list and noted that while a lot of money has been spent down south, Monaghan again seems to have been forgotten about and put second on the list, or down the list a bit.

I ask that the OPW would consider moving that up the list.
