The Minister of State was in Bridge Street when this happened and is well aware of it. I just wish that somebody from Donegal County Council or the Department would liaise with the group on that same bridge to Killybegs. We had none of that information until the Minister of State came in here this morning. The people living there only want information, to see that something is going to be done, and to know when it will start and when it will finish. I thank the Minister of State for coming in this morning and giving us this information. Hopefully, we can get going on it and get this sorted once and for all. It can never happen again. As the Minister of State said, it was 1.2 m. People's livelihoods and everything they had in their houses are gone. A humanitarian fund is really needed. This is five months on. I know the Minister of State is a man who gets things done. I ask him to try to get this sorted out as quickly as he can because people need to have a standard of living in their houses. They are waiting for money to come and it needs to be sorted.
