As soon as possible. As soon as we get a response from Donegal County Council, we will expedite it. It will be up to the council to make sure that it can do what it needs to with the resources that we attach to it. I cannot make it simpler than this. I know the local community will be listening to this. We want this scheme to be built, as we do in all other parts of the county, where we have a good working relationship with the council and local community.

There is nothing stopping this. I think Deputy Doherty accepts that we have a very good relationship with the community in Donegal and we want to proceed with this. However, we want to proceed with it on the basis of a scheme that is likely to get planning permission. There is no point in us going half-baked around the place trying to do something that will fall flat on its face at the first hurdle. We will not do that.
