I am delighted that we are moving on. The situation relating to the flood and the contamination is mainly on the left hand side of Labre Park. Is this part of the park going to be kept for bays? It is probably really important that a community centre is there, particularly for after school. I do not see where on the site it could be put. Has any part of the site been allocated to that? Is there any way we could speed up that because this will not start until at least 2026 and people would be living in those conditions for another two years? I know Dublin City Council is doing something positive with it but those families are being asked to live in those conditions for a long time even though they are probably be looking forward to better conditions after that. Is there any way this committee can work with the Minister to speed these things up?
