Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I support that view and thank all those who have given great service and provided expertise, wisdom and local knowledge, very often at considerable costs in terms of time, over the years. An extraordinary contribution has been made, largely on a voluntary basis, some of which has been very useful in making decisions on planning, spatial planning decisions and all the rest. We have to move on. I wish the structures well. This morning we have moved into calmer waters and I hope that will also be the case for the new structures.
