Mr. Michael Barrett:

No, I brought it to the authorities' attention in 2012. It only came to my attention that it was an unauthorised development as a result of an accident at the marina. I was asked to go out, recover a damaged boat and do the repair work by the insurers. It became apparent then that it was an unauthorised development with no planning permission. I brought the matter to the attention of Westmeath County Council in 2012. The council issued its first warning letter on 3 May 2012 and its first enforcement notice in January 2013.
