I will certainly look into that. Obviously if the local residents had sought engagement in respect of what was happening in Clonmel, there should have been engagement. My own experience in terms of Citywest, for example, is that there has been excellent engagement between officials in my Department, local representatives and the local community. In fairness to the civil servants in the Department, I generally hear very positive feedback about engagement. I will certainly follow up within the Department on engagement in Clonmel in respect of the 82 units.
