We fully understand what Mr. Coskeran is talking about. As I said, I hope the media pick up on this. I also hope the county council and Department will do so and have a small bit of cop-on and take Mr. Coskeran's finger out. This is a problem that can be solved very easily, as far as I am concerned. It has come across in the remarks of Mr. Coskeran and the members that no one should have to carry what he has had to carry because of the failures of others. As we said at the very start of this meeting, what Mr. Coskeran has done by way of correspondence and everything he has done at Rocksprings, to the highest quality, reflects what we preach to others in respect of finishing estates to top-quality standards, with finished roads and footpaths. That Mr. Coskeran has done that for the council and is being treated as he is being treated is just not right or proper. The only assurance we can give him is that if we do not get satisfactory answers back from the Department and county council, we will have their representatives sitting in front of us to answer the questions we will put to them on his behalf to get this resolved.
