I am sure the Taoiseach will join me in thanking and praising the work of the local authorities and many voluntary groups in the response to Storm Chandra last week. When he came to Aughrim on bank holiday Monday he met with Aughrim Tidy Towns, which has done incredible work in the community providing support to the victims of the floods. The big issue we are now dealing with, which is a particular problem for north Wexford and south Wicklow, apart from the impact on homes and businesses, is the state of the roads. Many roads, which were in poor condition, are now impassable as a result of the heavy rainfall. Will the Taoiseach commit to talking to the Minister for Transport about additional funding, particularly for Wicklow and Wexford County Councils to address the problems of the roads, as a result of the storm?

It is more than just Aughrim.
