I really appreciate this. I am wearing out my lives here. I have to go in to the Dáil and speak on politically exposed persons. I want to briefly look backwards in terms of where we are because it is important to get clarity. We have got some clarity since the witnesses came before us. I am still a bit confused about when the formal application went into Mayo County Council. The committee is saying that it went in eight years ago but Mayo County Council is saying that it went in in 2018. Could we clear that up?

Would there have been an issue if there had been the capacity in the treatment plant from the beginning? Because this was going through the river, how long did the Natura report take? If those two variables were taken out of it, would we be in this situation today or would it have been much more straightforward?
