I thank the Minister of State for the update. As he is aware, I have raised this matter a number of times in the House. The people and businesses in Crossmolina that are affected by the risk of flooding have major concerns about the progress of this enormous capital project. The benefits of it would be huge. I compliment Mayo County Council, its engineers and the staff of the OPW on the work they have done to date for the people of Crossmolina. However, we need this project to progress to tender and project build and construction. I ask that every effort be made in the Department to progress it as swiftly as possible.
