Today, I have written to a prominent member of the Turf Cutters and Contractors Association saying that I am prepared to talk to them. I will continue to speak to them about this issue. Deputy Flanagan has accepted that more has been done in the last two years than when this was introduced back in 1997. That is when people should have been out there protesting against the designation. More has been achieved, however.
