Mr. Tommy Kearney:

The farmers and my neighbours and friends around the lough are in awe of the possibility that as one home has gone this summer, more homes are likely to go. A job is two thirds complete and it is just at a standstill. Apart from the damage to the environment and everything, there is sheer pressure on those people now, myself included, from now until the end of March. You spend your time watching the weather forecast.
