I understand that.
I need to move to some other items. Flooding is obviously one of the OPW's key roles. There was an underspend in 2024 of €7.8 million. The officials will appreciate how communities out there which are at risk of flooding might see this. Ballinhassig in County Cork is an example. It has flooded a number of times over the past 20 years. When people there see there is an underspend by the OPW on flood management, it is difficult for such communities to accept.
