A number of months ago, at the request of Deputies McLoughlin, MacSharry and myself, the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Moran, visited areas in County Sligo which are vulnerable to flooding. There is one particular area in Ransboro where four or five houses are very susceptible to flooding. In fact, one of those houses has been flooded on three occasions in recent times. Sligo County Council has made an application for funding to do a report and try to resolve this through a low-cost scheme. Is there any update on that? I see the Minister of State is present so perhaps he will respond.
