Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe ó Chomhairle Contae Mhaigh Eo agus ó Chomhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe. Tá cúpla ceist agam do na finnéithe ó Chomhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe amháin agus cuirim fáilte roimh Valerie, Brendan agus Úna. I thank the witnesses from Galway County Council for their contributions on planning in Galway. Enurements are something that crop up from time to time. I have a question about the Irish-clause enurements within estates. For rural housing, they last for seven years. On estates there does not seem to be a time-bound enurement. Is it a lifetime clause? It is impacting on people being able to secure mortgages. The banks will find an excuse not to lend to somebody where there is an Irish enurement that does not state how long it lasts.

Could any of the Galway representatives or anyone else answer that with regard to their own counties? I am sure it is an issue across the board.
