Therefore, there will be respect for the existing locations as much as possible.

Deputy Ó Broin spoke earlier and I believe Mr. Rowe gave a commitment to extend the 108-day consultation period. I personally was off for summer; I was sick. However, many other people in the tourism industry were in their peak season. As was said by other speakers, this came out in the middle of a peak season. I know that if I was in the middle of my peak season, this would probably be the last thing on my mind because I would be busy trying to make a few euro to try to keep my business afloat in these troubling times. I am open to it being extended. I ask Mr. Rowe to come back to us in writing outlining by how much Waterways Ireland is willing to extend the consultation period. I am looking forward to being educated on the water services.
