It feels on some days like Deputy McDonald may have gotten out the wrong side of the bed. I know sometimes she is a bit tough but usually she is a little bit more pleasant.

On the Fennelly commission, no report has been published. I will receive it when it is published. I have seen media reports that an interim contact or report has been given to some parties, but I do not have any further details. That is the normal process of commissions and I assume that in due course, when the process is completed and when the judge who is handling the commission so decides, we will get the published report.

Deputy McDonald gave a detailed commentary on County Wicklow and Newtownmountkennedy specifically. I will certainly ask the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government for a report on the matters she has raised.
