At risk of repeating myself, we recognise the issues regarding some other schemes. In Donegal town, there are no objections. There is unanimous support from the council, elected members and officials that this scheme needs to happen, not as part of the 2020 plan, but it needs to be expedited. The view here is that the reason this is not happening is not because the council needs more resources. Of course the council will look for more resources and is doing so, but it is not suggesting that is the delay here. It is suggesting the delay is that the Department has not given sanction for the next step of this project to commence.
