Mr. Maurice Buckley:
The Deputy is correct. I know he has raised this issue on many occasions representing the community's anxiety regarding getting this done because there has been severe flooding in Crossmolina in the past. It is a big and innovative scheme involving €35 million that is doing things we have done previously. It has met various obstacles working its way through the process but it is in a very good place at the moment. I will ask Mr. Casey to give the Deputy the current position on the scheme.
