In response to Deputy Connolly regarding dates, the only date I have available is that the scoping of the revised works should be agreed in the third quarter of 2023 between Galway City Council, the OPW and the scheme consultants. I am happy to take any additional questions that she wants to refer to me or to the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan.

Deputy Conway-Walsh asked whether the Crossmolina flood relief scheme is waiting to be signed off in the Department. I will have to check on the status of that scheme. I am happy to revert to the Deputy on that. If she contacts my office directly, I will be happy to talk to her about it.

Deputy Durkan underlined the importance of making progress with these schemes. Indeed, I listened to the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, referring to schemes all over the country that will have specific local effect and are of great importance, all of which are caused by climate change.
