Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

The River Deel. The people there have had surveying and ground-testing into oblivion. This has been going on for months and years and the people in the town are still living in fear. No developments can take place there until this scheme happens. The people there have been told the money is ring-fenced. When will the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, confirm the scheme so that the work can start?
I cannot talk about Crossmolina without acknowledging the sad passing of Dr. Mickey Loftus. I extend my sympathies to Edie, Michael, Orla, Patrick and Joe. His membership of the 1951 Mayo team is well documented, as is his legacy as the president of the GAA in 1985. His legacy of courage, kindness and leadership, as well as love of his family, his community and his county, must be acknowledged, as must his understanding of and stance on the impact of the abuse of alcohol on families. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
