The Minister of State has said that Dublin City Council is the lead authority. I am aware of that but the point is that the project seems to have been put in the go-slow lane for the past two years. It appears from the reply of the Minister of State that when Irish Water takes over in 2014 it may move on at that stage. To me, the fact that Dublin City Council is only now setting about procuring consultants to examine the planning phase tells me that nothing is moving fast under this project. It needs to be moved on if we are to go ahead with it.
