They are fairly similar. This is what I am afraid of. I would go with the recommendation on the first one of Mr. Jamie Forde Kelly. On the recommendation, as one can see, there has been a considerable amount of work undertaken on this petition and the secretariat advises in respect of the report received on unathorised developments by Mr. Forde Kelly that Portaneena Marina is currently the subject of legal proceedings. It goes on to say that the petition case manager also suggests that follow-up responses be sent to the Department and Westmeath County Council for an update on legal proceedings. They are more or less the same recommendations. I have no problem. It is the same issue. They are two separate petitions but it is the same recommendation. If the rest of the committee is in agreement, recommendation 1 would be the one that I would be in agreement with. This is normally how it works.
