It has been four months almost to the day since Storm Babet devastated my part of the country. The Taoiseach and Ministers visited and offered huge support, which was very welcome. What we did not see at the time was the devastation caused to roads. There was approximately €60 million worth of damage. I am told that the Department of Transport can only give €13 million at the moment. Some roads are almost impassable. Will the Taoiseach work with his Cabinet colleagues to increase the amount of money from the Exchequer to the county council so that these roads can be brought back into use?

I am happy to work on that. The general principle which was applied in other places, including County Donegal, was that once the Department had assessed the damage and the work that would need to be done, a special allocation would be made that was over and above the regular roads grant. What the Deputy is saying to me is that an allocation has been made but it is not enough. If the Deputy and I have the opportunity this Wednesday evening or the next one, we will attempt a pincer movement on the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and see what we can do to get that additional special allocation. It is not just money from the Department of Transport; it is a special allocation and it falls into a different category.
