Mr. Jack O'Sullivan:

I have nothing to add to that. I have not had any direct contact on this case with Westmeath County Council or the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Early on I did. In 2012, I was in touch with the regional manager or regional director of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, but since then I have not. I have plenty of contact with Westmeath County Council on other issues. I am a member of the public participation network and the strategic policy committee here in County Westmeath, things I value greatly as enabling me to be stakeholder within the process, to see how the local authority operates and understand what it has to deal with.
