David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for his response. Will he provide some figures for how much additional funding has been indicated to his Department? He spoke about a downward revision. How much is that? Did he say that the council had already received €13 million or €30 million? I am not clear on that, as I could not hear him properly.
The Taoiseach told me in the Dáil recently that a special allocation had been made from the Exchequer to address the damage done in Donegal. Does the Minister intend to ask for a special allocation from the Department of public expenditure and reform to cover the damage to roads in Cork? I understand that the current estimate is between €50 million and €55 million. Has the Minister that amount of money at his disposal in his Department or will he have to go to the Department of public expenditure and reform for it?
