Mr. Terence Coskeran:

It was the right thing to do. I know that in other instances the council had fierce difficulties getting land for works. In my case, it was the right thing to do. The council needed to come in a bit to widen the road and if one life could be saved from that, then I would have done my duty. It rankled with me when I did that. I am not looking for glory here and I did not look for any money because it was the right thing to do. I did think, however, that the council might treat me fairly. I am not looking for any favours. I just want what is right.

On Deputy Buckley's point regarding CCTV cameras for the sewers, they were included. When the council sent me the application form, I had to get CCTV footage and send it to it with the application. Did I hear anything back about it? Was it right or wrong? Two thousand two hundred and eighty-five days later, I am looking out for the postman. I look out on Christmas Day and New Year's Day and in the new year, but there is still no sign. Nobody has ever mentioned my application, no more than if I sent it to the moon. It is like what a young fellow once said to me when I used to drive a school bus. He was sending letters to Santa. I asked him how he posted them. He said he did not post them but that he put them in the fire. I asked him how they get to Santa and he said "Magic". I should have done that with my application, because it is the same response that I am getting.
