-----accepting the legal advice. I accepted it last year in good faith but it has now changed as a result of certain happenings in the European Court. That is something which I also have to accept. I do not like it and no more than Deputy Troy, I do not like the delay. I do not like the delays in the Attorney General's office or the changes of mind in that office but I have to accept them. That it has taken a long time is something which is deeply frustrating, not just for Deputy Troy but for everybody involved and for the communities. At the end of the day, however, if the legal advice tells me I must do certain things in these circumstances, I must take that advice and I will do so.
