Will the Minister engage with the Department of housing, the OPW and Donegal County Council to explore viable alternative solutions for the affected homeowners of Elm Park in Buncrana including the option of providing grant funding for the purchase of alternative homes rather than rebuilding on a floodplain? Will he make a statement on the matter?

Which question is this?

It is Question No. 67 but it is grouped with Question No. 107. Both are in the name of Deputy Ward.

I do not have the reply. I understood that it had been changed. I do not have it.

Will the Minister of State come back to me on it?

I will. I will come back to the Deputy. I am sorry about that.
