I appreciate that there are 800 and more estates in this situation. I guarantee Mr. McGrath that during my time on the council and from talking to other politicians up here and around the country, very few of these 800-plus estates were finished to the standard of Rocksprings. This is why I am asking questions regarding the kinds of situations and obstacles being put in the way of an estate like Rocksprings. None of us speaking here today will be around by the time we get to the last of these 800-plus estates if it has taken this long to resolve the issue with Rocksprings estate, which seems to be one that could easily be resolved. I appreciate where the witnesses are coming from regarding the approximately 820 estates around the country. Has the Department or Irish Water given a direct reason for why an estate like Rocksprings is not being moved or why there is such a dragging of heels in not getting this estate over the line?
