Mr. John Reilly:

Not at all. To move this on, we made recommendations to the local communities because we constantly engage with them. Many of those engagements are positive. While some of the engagements are tetchy and stressful at times, we recently advised the local community that to move this on we need to engage directly with Mayo to get the mechanism up and running in order that people can have some confidence. I am aware that this week, on foot of our advice on that basis, the local community wrote to the local authority to request formally a meeting about the set-up of the fund. Bord na Móna thinks that is the best way forward because it will allow the board to be put in place. The board will ultimately decide how the money will be distributed.
