Why should we be more convinced by the Minister of State's statement today than by the inaccurate statements of the then Minister of State with responsibility for OPW, Deputy Simon Harris, in 2015 or 2016? We know the scheme has not commenced and has not yet commenced at this point in time. The same schemes have been on the list of years. The people of Clare are sick to the teeth of it. Am I to believe this scheme will commence quite soon, that is, will it be within a number of weeks? Is there a chance that Deputy Canney will be before this committee again and the south Ennis scheme will be one of the schemes to commence in 2018?
