Is the Minister telling the House that money is available at present in the western drainage scheme fund for the purposes of the western drainage? We have been told differently.

As the Deputy is aware, the question is divided into two sections. Deputy Gallagher was speaking about the amount of grant aid possible for small farmers in County Donegal to get under the western package. I was not speaking about western drainage.
