I brought forward a Private Members' motion on behalf of Fianna Fáil regarding the Government's response to the flooding in Donegal and the promises it made to the effect that it would provide flood relief measures, particularly to the town of Burnfoot. The Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Boxer Moran, commented that following on from the catchment flood risk assessment management, CFRAM, report, funding would be available to deal with flood management issues in Burnfoot. Will the Taoiseach intervene and ensure that funding is forthcoming? In the aftermath of the CFRAM report, no funding has been allocated to Burnfoot. For the residents of those estates who lost their homes, which are still boarded up, and also for the businesses that were flooded and whose owners are living in fear that the same might happen again, it is absolutely crucial that flood relief measures are delivered for the village.

Work by the OPW on Burnfoot is ongoing. It is hoped that we can make a decision on that in the near future. Just last week, Minister of State Moran and I announced almost €250 million of investment in flood relief works over the next three years, covering 118 projects. Burnfoot is not one of those projects but it can be added to the list. I understand the work is still ongoing.
