I thank the Minister of State and appreciate the comprehensive reply he has given. He outlined the historical background and the work which has been done and which needs to be done. My only issue is that the residents want action. The more the Minister of State can do to bring forward the tendering process and the commencement of the works the better, and it would be very much appreciated.

I again thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply and look forward to working with him on this and other schemes in Cork. They are very important for the residents in the area who have suffered a great deal in an unusual situation in 2012. They are still recovering. They feel it is very important for the scheme to go ahead.
