I will be honest with Deputy Dooley. The starting point was not the motion that was passed by this House. The starting point was the meeting I had with the communities where I thought they raised very valid questions. On foot of the raising of those questions, I immediately sought advice from my own technical adviser about the issues that were raised. There are legitimate questions that need to be clarified and this is what I intend to do. This is why I have asked my officials to take action on foot of what the communities have said to me and what has been raised here through the motions in the Dáil and the Seanad. I have not seen the detail of that as of yet. It has not come to me. I am awaiting it. What we need is to provide clear and definitive answers to the questions that have been raised by the communities on numerous occasions.
