We have the responses from all bar four county councils. Members need to sit down now and decide where this should go. I agree with the Deputy. We had been told before that we could not go near this because there may be a threat of a court case coming down the road. This committee, every other committee and the Dáil itself will come to a standstill if the excuse can be used that there may be some legal case down the road. If there is a legal case down the road, we can cross that bridge when we come to it, but this has dragged on for long enough now and we need to discuss it. I ask that it be put on the agenda for the next meeting of the committee, which will be private, and we will discuss where we take it from there.
