It has been going on for a long time. It is one of the largest schemes ever taken on by the State. I have visited Cork on a number of occasions. I met the executive to try to put through the Morrison's Island phase. That has gone to Part 8 for public consultation. The public's views will be taken into account and the scheme will develop at a fast pace. Everyone I meet in Cork asks when work will start and when will there be a shovel in the ground. I have not been found wanting in this regard and I have done everything in my power to ensure the scheme remains on track and is delivered as fast as possible.
