I thank the Minister of State for coming to Roscommon to see it. He stated that he would have an update in two weeks and that is what we are waiting for. We appreciate people coming looking at it and if I had a euro for everyone who came, it would nearly do the job, but I would rather that we get the solution. The solution is what is needed. I believe that the solution is there with the Attorney General's office, that they can do it, but whatever pushing they need, they need to be pushed because they need to understand that this is critical for families right around that area. It was a few families first. The problem is that this is spreading. Will the Minister of State to keep the pressure on the AG because this has to be done? Is there any word back from the AG or where are we going on it? Will the OPW lead on this or will it be the AG who will send legislation in here because I have looked at the habitats directives a good few times?
