Councillor Peter McVitty:

I thank the members for meeting us. They have a fair idea of what our problem is. We do not want this to be political. We want a proper set-up and the committee should work together so that the amalgamation of two bodies works. We do not want to make it political; we want local authorities to work properly. I ask the committee members to examine some of the issues raised. We will be in contact again directly with more of our problems in a private capacity.
