David Stanton (FG), Cork East

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?
