When the public consultation process began, Senator Kieran O'Donnell rang me directly. In fairness, he made the position clear at that stage. I suppose I would say that no process is infallible and that is why we have public consultation. The public consultation process was worthwhile for particular reasons.

There is a particularly unique issue with Castleconnell and Montpelier. As I have advised the Senator, the process of looking at that area has begun. There is consultation taking place between the Office of Public Works, the consultants, Jacobs, and the local authority to look at that area-----
