I will paint the picture for the Minister very quickly. The chief executive in Waterford was quoted this week as saying that the council was not jumping up and down with regard to the announcements made last week. That leads to an air of uncertainty. Politically and investor-wise it is worrying when one hears something like that after what we have gone through with the process. Some clarity in respect of the Department and the local authority would be useful. I did not like what was said and it would be useful if clarity is brought to the process at this juncture. I appreciate the Minister's response.
