I very much welcome the opportunity to speak this morning on a very important topic. It has been almost three months since Storm Chandra ripped through Wexford, leaving a trail of devastation. Since then, Wexford County Council road crews have been out surveying the damage and have concluded that 157 roads are now impassable in Wexford, to the point where it is not safe to drive across them. The council has submitted a request to the Department of Transport for €20 million in emergency funding. This is a one-off request that recognises the fact this devastation is having a serious impact on the local economy in Wexford. Hauliers, bus drivers, farmers, agricultural contractors, carers and people trying to get to school are all unable to use the roads as a transport network in rural County Wexford. Given the fact that it has now been three months since that request was submitted, I am calling on the Minister for Transport to come to the House to clearly state whether the Government is going to support Wexford County Council's application for this one-off funding. Back in 2020, an application for €5 million was submitted after storm damage that happened on Christmas Day and that money was allocated, but this time the situation in rural Wexford is far worse. I would like the Minister to come to the Chamber to discuss this issue.
