We totally understand your frustration, lads, but for this committee to do its job properly, we need to tease out where the sticking points are with Mayo County Council, Irish Rail and the Department. The Department, as Deputy Cannon said earlier, has serious questions to answer in that it is on one hand supplying money for this and, on the other, putting stumbling blocks in the way. The assurance we will give all of you is that we will follow this up as quickly as we possibly can and get Department representatives sitting on the same seats you are sitting on today in order that members can come back in and quiz them on your behalf as to why these stumbling blocks are there.

Do you want to make one quick final statement before you leave?
