I appreciate the Minister of State's answer. What we are looking at in respect of Termonfeckin is that the report is due at the end of quarter 1 of this year, and we are talking about the end of the year for the report on Annagassan. We all accept the issues that have been brought about by climate change in the last while. We all know the dangers we face in respect of flood risk. It is an absolute necessity that we can protect our communities. I also accept that once the viability review report is done, there is another process in respect of the design of the project. We just need it all to happen as soon as possible given the circumstances we are in. If possible, could we get an overall update on CFRAM in County Louth, accepting the absolute necessity of those works that are planned for Dundalk, Blackrock, Drogheda, Carlingford, Greenore, Baltray and Ardee, securing all those communities in County Louth?
