Dr. Cecil Beamish:
Last year, we had a long conversation on a specific case. The requirement in the legislation, which the Minister and the Department must work to, is that the applicant should publish in a newspaper circulating in the vicinity of the location. This time last year we had a long conversation about the Inishowen Independentversus the Donegal Democrat, etc. l can repeat our conversation but I do not think it would be fruitful.
