Mr. Kris Murphy:

We met a group of representatives from the Government and IFI. I have to give credit where credit is due. Deputy Paul Kehoe, who I am very sad to hear has decided to leave Government, was instrumental at the time. We set up a number of meetings. The Minister of State at the time, now Senator Seán Kyne, met us several times and they were very interested in helping out. They set up a few meetings. We met the then CEO of Inland Fisheries Ireland, Ciaran Byrne, with Cathal Gallagher and a few other experts. We tried to figure out how we could move this forward and that was the point when we decided to split the project into two and to resolve the tailrace grid.
