Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As natives of west Cork, the Cathaoirleach and I are no strangers to the devastation caused by flooding. We understand the Senator's plight. Following Storm Ophelia last month, the people in coastal areas of west Cork can probably, as much as anyone else, empathise with the people of County Donegal. I will pass the Senator's sentiments to the Minister. Maybe it would be helpful to put a costing on the repairs that are required. I know the Senator is engaging with Donegal County Council. If he continues to work with the council to try to get an exact and precise cost for the repairs that are required, it will help in the process of getting funding for the project and ensure we are not talking in terms of unknown figures and facts.
