I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that he is going to take a personal interest and is giving a commitment. However, there is flooding practically every year in Galway. That has been known about for a very long time. Following the mapping situation, we were into the action. The action was set out, as I said. I do not like repeating myself or wasting time, but this is extremely important for Galway. There were five stages set out. We need the people on board because, quite clearly, these will be significant…

As of now, and that could change, just like the waters can change, up or down. That is where we are. I will not go over my time.

I thank the Minister of State. He said that I am very familiar with the scheme. Unfortunately, I am not. I am very familiar with the floods. I am very familiar with the promises. I am very familiar with the targets not being met. That is what I am familiar with. I am not here to lay blame. I am here to try to find out what is going on.

That should all be sorted out. I have a library full of replies. The 940 properties did not appear yesterday. They are appearing in all my questions and answers since I started this process of asking the Minister of State.

We are way over.

The Minister of State will have a chance to come back in but we are way over time.

We are way over time. I ask everyone for co-operation. Deputy Conway-Walsh wishes to come in briefly before the Minister of State.

I thank the Minister of State. He will get a chance to come back in.

Go raibh maith agat.

Deputy Alan Farrell has one minute.

I remind Deputies Fitzmaurice, Naughten and Kerrane that they do not have four minutes each. They have one minute and 20 seconds.

Tosóimid le ceisteanna don Aire Turasóireachta, Cultúr, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus na Meán le Ceist Uimh. 1. I dtús báire ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis an Aire Stáit nua, an Teachta Byrne, agus go n-éirí leis.

The Minister of State has extra time because the questions are grouped.

He should feel free not to use it.

The Deputy will get a chance to come back in.
