I echo the point made by Deputy Dooley. It is critical, from the planning and development perspective, that Clare County Council has a strong role to play into the future. I worked closely with the manager for a number of years, and he can ease the passage of any developments that take place. It is critical that is locked in for the future because Clare County Council plays a huge role in the Shannon area and I have no doubt it will do so in future. We must involve all the players in the project. This is a huge project, not just for Shannon but for the entire mid-west, and that is from where we should be working.
