FAI officials have written to the Department saying that they are not going ahead with it but they still have a lease on the land. Has the Department had any communication with, say, the county council, to know what it is proposed will be done with this 30 acres? We have a problem now in that the city boundary was extended. The urban development has been within the city, not in the county. There is co-ordination between the two local authorities. Surely the Department now has a responsibility to communicate with them to see what is the best use that can be made of that 30 acres for the benefit of the community?
