I am not finished. There has been no progress over the past year. The Minister of State’s point is that it is Donegal County Council’s responsibility and its officials need to prepare the report. Donegal County Council will tell us that it is the Department that needs to allow them to do the necessary works and prioritise this. In the middle of this, we could have another flood. At the end of the day, the Minister of State needs to butt some heads somewhere. A year has gone past and on the CFRAM programme we are no further forward in Donegal town than we were this time last year, and it flooded five out of the past six years.
