As the relevant local authority, Galway County Council faces expenses in excess of €100,000 to repair the damage done to local roads, the environment and a river. It had to augment the water supply at Gort at short notice. Nobody has indicated how the council will be reimbursed. I want the Minister of State to indicate who will reimburse the council for the work it carried out on site. I compliment the local area engineers and the other Galway County Council personnel, who worked so hard when nobody else would help. The developers walked away from the site for 14 days after the mud slide on 16 October. They returned when somebody pointed out their responsibilities to them, but they have not yet accepted that they may have been responsible for what happened.
