As we approach International Women's Day, it is fantastic to see two women in the driving seats this morning. If you see it, you can be it. Well done ladies.

Some €82 million has been allocated to Cork to fix and develop 104 regional and local roads. While this is extremely welcome and a very large amount of money, members of Cork county and city councils believe it is not enough. The road network in Cork is becoming very undone. When there is heavy rain, especially in rural areas, streams burst, go onto the road and there is erosion. While this €82 million is very welcome, as I said, it is a drop in the ocean. Could we call the Minister in and debate the allocating of funding? Though it is welcome, it is not enough. I presume that is not just in Cork. I would like if he could come into the House.
