I concur with many of the points made by Deputy Humphreys. All we are asking is for six months' reprieve to allow the possibility of a business plan being put forward. As stated, the group concerned restored the MV Cill Airne and it sees merit in trying to protect this particular ship. If after six months that is not possible, we can look again at what needs to happen to this ship. I would welcome if an opportunity could be provided to allow the groups to come together and investigate what can be done. In this regard, I too would welcome a meeting as quickly as possible to examine the issue.
