There is an absolute commitment to doing this and it is not just a commitment; we are delivering on the plan I outlined to the Dáil as a new Minister in July 2014. As I reminded the Deputy before and will do so again, I stated there would be three key events between July 2014 and December 2015. The first was the publication of the map, splitting the country into areas that the commercial sectors would look after and the rest of the country, in which the State would have to intervene. I said I would do that in November last year and it was done at that stage. I stated at that stage that we would bring forward the full and detailed strategy, including technical, financial and legal aspects, that needed to be dealt with and it would be published in July 2015. I did that. I then stated that the third of that trio of actions that needed to be taken in order to move forward in the process and meet the concerns of the people whom the Deputy speaks about would come by the end of this year. To answer his question, "Yes", it will be done before the end of 2015.
