This is where part of the trouble emanated from. A figure has been given that this will increase housing accommodation by 12,000 units. No one can answer where that figure came from and it is totally inaccurate. Fáilte Ireland is the body that will register these people. On whose direction did Kerry County Council send 600 letters to people stating that they must get planning permission in order to register? Who authorised Kerry County Council to do this? I know Kerry County Council officials are very busy and were very busy as it was. This is the route they have followed for the past five or six months. Where did that direction come from? May I ask that question, Vice Chairman?
