Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised)
(22 Feb 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I welcome the Minister of State and his officials to the committee to deal with the Estimates.

The issue at heart is the approval for Donegal town to advance a CFRAM scheme. The Minister of State is giving the impression, and can correct me if I am wrong, that it is solely in the hands of Donegal County Council to advance that scheme and...
