Mr. Andy Roche:

We again thank the members of the committee for the opportunity to make our points today. We believe our agenda and concerns have been central to discussions. We are quite satisfied that we have aired what we had to say. I repeat that we felt the discussion we had with Waterways Ireland was constructive. We hope our assessment of that is correct and the proof of the pudding will be in the eating when we see what comes along. At this stage we welcome that the process has taken place. We would like an opportunity to comment on whatever further proposals Waterways Ireland might make at the next stage of this process.
