Before I let Senator Craughwell in, I will ask a question. I welcome the re-examination of the position relating to Seven Springs, but no one like Mr. Fitzmaurice seems to have come on board to re-examine decisions made about Owenacurra and St. Brigid's. Why was it decided to re-examine only one of the three? As I have said, I totally welcome the decision regarding Seven Springs but each of them should be re-examined. Why was one area picked? I will not say it was picked out of the three. When there is so much concern and when the HSE is working with the public regarding Seven Springs, I am sure committees in Carrick-on-Suir and Owenacurra would have loved the same interaction as was seen in respect of Seven Springs. Why was it decided to re-examine the decision on Seven Springs? On the previous occasion we were left with the impression that it was a lost cause, just as the witnesses are now telling us the others are.
