Ms Ciara O'Mahony:

I will speak from the local perspective. I have been privileged to join with Wexford County Council and see what it has done through the Duncannon EIP. It is excellent. It shows a proven track record of delivering.

I also wish to speak about what has come up a couple of times now, namely, the question of which agency should be responsible, which leads to the comment that it is everybody and nobody. That is a genuine frustration. The water policy area is incredibly complex. There is a water plan, produced in 2024 by the water policy division of the Department of housing, and it spells out really clearly the responsibilities of all the various agencies. That is a helpful source but, beyond that, what we need for Lady’s Island Lake is a local coming together of a certain number of key bodies, including ourselves.
