Mr. Mike Quinn:

I thank the Deputy for the welcome extended to Ervia. As regards local authorities, local representatives are key to the progression of the process. We have an ongoing rolling clinic around the country with local authorities but Mr. Grant and I have committed that, once we get into negotiations, we will go to all 31 local authorities and seek the input of councillors into the process. I am happy to keep everyone informed of progress in that regard as we visit the 31 council chambers.
