Recently, the Minister of State, Deputy Hayes, stated that the Irish Coastal Protection Strategy Study was currently mapping the coastline. It will have to map it again because the coastline has changed as the events of the past couple of weeks have done so much damage. Does the Government intend to source funding from the EU solidarity fund as a matter of urgency to help the poor people who have been hurt, whose homes have been destroyed and whose towns have been ravaged?

That is an important issue, but I suggest the Deputy should submit a Topical Issue because it is not in order on the Order of Business.

Will the Taoiseach please comment on this and the EU solidarity fund.

The Deputy is asking the Taoiseach to breach the rules of the House.

I am not.

With the greatest respect, like everybody else, he is allowed to deal only with what is allowed on the Order of Business. We cannot have debates on the Order of Business. I now call Deputy Butler.
