I asked the Minister specifically for the specific projects he has planned for County Donegal under Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012 - 2016. The Minister is spending approximately €500 million in capital under that programme in the coming years. He made no reference to any project in his answer. He barely referred to the capital investment plan. With due respect, all I got was a load of waffle on the specifics of the question I asked. Could the Minister give me clear answers to my question? What specific projects, if any, does he plan for Donegal under the capital investment plan for 2012 to 2016? If he cannot tell me of any, am I to take it that there are none planned?

There are three projects in particular on which I want an answer: the Letterkenny to Lifford link and the A5 dual carriageway; the Bunnagee link in Letterkenny, linking the east side of the town to the Milford area; and the Corkhill bridge in Buncrana. Those three projects are ready to go. Are there any plans on those? Does the Minister propose to spend any of the budget in County Donegal?
