I thank the Deputy. I have contacted him, Deputy Grealish and other local representatives.

Deputy Michael D. Higgins knows the water services investment programme is a public document and is notified to all local authorities. The idea suggested during the course of the day that the local council was not aware that €21 million was available to it is patent nonsense.
