Mr. Joe McGrath:

I thank the Chair and members for the opportunity to appear before them today and set out the current position. I will highlight a few final key points. The resolution of this requires a national response. All parties are committed to that. We are prepared to take this estate in charge once this issue is resolved. It is important to mention that. Obviously, this is a legacy issue but in regard to Rocksprings estate, I believe there is a way forward. We will continue to engage with the Department and Irish Water to seek to bring that resolution to reality. As I said, I hope the committee appreciates I have given a detailed report today. I was keen to place all of the matters in regard to the issue before the committee and to ensure the committee is fully briefed and aware of the facts.
