This goes back to the overall issue I am raising about projects, which are now urgent - not just in Blackpool but right across the country - where we seem to have a process that goes on ad infinitum. It is ten or 12 years later and now we have a situation where over €500 million will be paid out this year as a result of people suffering damage to properties and loses. There is a need now for the Department to see how we can expedite the process and deal with it in a far more timely manner.
