Mr. Eamonn Hore:

If Lady's Island Lake is the worst, we should make it an exemplar and then it should be easier when it comes to all of the other water bodies. People keep saying that it is easy, but to quote a line from a film, "Show me the money". People have said that finance is going to be easy, but we have to start paying farmers for taking good land out of production if we are to resolve this.

Deputy Whitmore said we should speak to the NPWS. We have had two meetings and have already started that process. I said six months. We are working on that, but I am giving some of the Departments six months to come up with the money. If we are looking for exemplars, we should take on board what Aquafact has said. We are saying that we should look at the exemplar, and I have included it in the appendices. We should look at Duncannon, where the engagement with locals, the blue flag beach committee and farmers worked very well. That is our view.
