First, the courthouse is a matter for the Courts Service but I will look into it. I will engage with the Courts Service and come back to the Deputy.
Second, regarding the flood relief schemes, the Deputy is right about Donegal. I was probably the person who entered Donegal at the time of the last heavy floods, and I put money forward. I will work closely with Donegal County Council, as I have with every local authority. The Deputy is right. The Minister of State, Deputy Charlie McConalogue, asked me this morning about going to Donegal. I will fix a date. Deputy Doherty spoke to me last night to try to get me up there before Christmas. I am not saying “No” to him and I am working towards that.
Third, the empty buildings are being passed over to TII as part of the metro service.
