Can the Minister of State take us through, step by step, how a local authority engages with the Department and the points of approval relating to a scheme of this nature, whether it is in Donegal town or anywhere else? For example, is the first step data collation and does the Department have to give approval for that? This is not a priority scheme. It does not have a timeframe and it is not in phase 1. Is the council, therefore, prohibited from carrying out work for schemes that are not included in that phase?
