Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have previously asked the Minister of State about the issue of flood defences in County Donegal through parliamentary questions and when he has appeared before committee meetings. He has acknowledged that works in Donegal town were being planned but stated that the "project for Donegal town is not in the first phase of projects to be progressed" and that "the OPW and [Donegal County Council], DCC, are working closely to ensure that it will be commenced as early as possible in the current programme". What is the update on Donegal town? Many Ministers have made promises and visited the area. At what stage are the works now?
