Mr. Ó Foghlú gave us a commitment after due consideration. The question is what has happened? Did he not give proper consideration when he provided the initial deadlines or has something happened in the meantime? We want to know. I will finish the record then and speed matters up a bit. This is no better. Appendix 2 lists properties accepted for transfer under the 2009 voluntary agreement. The situation in this regard is something similar. Mr. Ó Foghlú has moved the commitment in respect of St. Bernard's group home, Fethard, County Tipperary. It was to be completed at the end of the third quarter. That has now moved to the end of the fourth quarter 2018. On lands in respect of Convent Road, Cahir, County Tipperary, that was to be completed at the end of the third quarter 2018 and has now moved to the end of the fourth quarter, another three months. The property in Ballyjamesduff in County Cavan had a revised timeframe that was to be the end of 2018 and Mr. Ó Foghlú is now moving it to the end of June 2019. He is moving that back by six months. We also had Scoil Phádraig primary school, Altamont Street, Westport, County Mayo. The estimated timeframe there has been moved from the end of 2018 to the end of June 2019. As far as I can see, none of the commitments given to the committee has been honoured.
