Ms Geraldine Murray:

The most obvious way of restoring it to an SAC again is to bring the water levels down a little bit. It is the extreme high water level that has destroyed all the flora and fauna and all of that. If the solution is there and the pipe is two thirds of the way towards fruition, if I could put like that, we need to start ensuring that the pipe is activated as soon as possible to take the excess water off Lough Funshinagh and thereby allow the birds perhaps to come back or the fauna and stuff like that to grow. That is the main thing.
