Mr. Ciaran McDonnell:

When the survey results come back to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage we should be able to get answers to those questions. These are the types of questions that have been posed in the survey. I would say to the committee to watch this space. Hopefully the Department will be able to publish some of those survey results. We could speed up our formation of a thatch owners' group if we had access to the list of addresses of thatched properties that the Department has. We have asked but so far they have declined to share that list with us.
