Will the Minister fill us in in more detail on Shanganagh Castle? I will make one simple request, which the Minister committed to previously, that is, to bring all the stakeholders and parties together early in the new year. It is important that it happens. It is the desire of the elected members of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. It is a commitment the Minister gave on the record to Deputy Boyd Barrett. The Government has three Deputies in that constituency, which is a remarkable achievement, and they are clearly very committed to it too. For a whole range of reasons it is important the Minister's staff, Philomena Poole, the chief executive of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, her staff and the elected members are all on track with the same message. We hear the same story and the same responses. We should rule out the possibility that we will not have a house on the site until 2022. It is totally unacceptable. We need construction in 2019. Perhaps the Minister will flesh that issue out and give us a commitment to meet all the stakeholders early in January.
