I hear Deputies Danny Healy Rae, McConalogue and Cahill and others who have raised the issue. We continue to monitor the situation. We are approaching 1 April and, normally, we would expect that grass growth would be ahead of where it is now and that would deliver a solution. I accept that the forecast for the weekend is for cold weather and that is worrying. However, we continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis with a view, if required, to taking appropriate action. However, at this stage, we do not have a plan for any initiative.
