I wish to correct something that was said earlier about land being "stolen". We cannot allow that unsubstantiated claim to stand. We will bring in witnesses from Waterways Ireland, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and Westmeath County Council and these questions can be put to them. I thank the witnesses for their contributions today. The committee secretariat will be in touch with them as the investigation progresses further with the other relevant bodies. On behalf of the committee I thank them for coming here today. We will consider the matter further with the other relevant bodies and we hope that at some stage down the line, the witnesses will appear before us again in person rather than over Zoom. I urge them to stay safe, and hopefully we will talk to them again in the near future.
