Beverley Flynn (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

I have an issue in respect of the refunding of money to local authorities for expenditure on salt. There are serious issues, especially in my county where the roads are now in a bad state. I realise the local authority intends to assess the additional costs involved. This might be considered sympathetically by the Department in terms of providing additional money.

I refer to water. There are very serious problems in County Mayo and many people were without water during the Christmas period. I call for additional resources to be provided.
