My question is for the Minister for Finance, Deputy Paschal Donohoe. Two weeks ago the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, through the OPW, launched a major multi-million euro flood relief programme, which is to be welcomed. However, I want to take the Minister back a step. In Fermoy we have the weir and the fish pass. Somehow or other the town council in Fermoy got possession of them from the OPW a number of years ago. We have had the dissolution of the town council, as a result of which Cork County Council inherited a red herring and a multi-million euro debt.
