The Department was fully aware of the issue and undertook from the contractor that it would be rectified. That is not how it works. If I build a house and subsequently apply for planning permission, there are rules and planning regulations in place for a reason. The reason I say that everything about this whole process has caused division with the communities is that it is one rule for the Department and another rule for them. This is where the divisiveness stems from and then the people who protest are called names.
