Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Thank you, Chair. All I would say in general terms, as I said earlier, is that there is a big difference between a policy objective and stuff happening on the ground. The Deputy is right to ask why the local authority is not doing it or why Irish Water and the ESB are not doing it. Sometimes they may want to do it, but the fact is that there seems to be a lack of co-ordination. It is a shame that we have land that could potentially be used for housing but that co-ordination is not there. I believe I could have brought that co-ordination skill to try to bring people together. Whether I would have been successful or not is another story, but that is moving on.
