I also have a copy of the information Deputy Lahart issued and his tweet on the matter. I welcome the fact that he was so enthusiastic about this project and wanted to jump into the photograph with Senator Gerry Horkan. Good luck to him. That was welcome, but today we have the language of chaos and culling from Fianna Fáil, yet here in the photo I have Deputy Lahart is standing shoulder to shoulder with what he calls the culls. That is the new network on the map behind him but we are now talking about it as culling. Today, we also have the language of condemnation from members of the Opposition. They should get their act together and decide which side they are on. They cannot be on both sides on this one. I know it is difficult. A consultation process is going on which has got a very welcome number of people coming forward with suggestions about changes, many of which are being regarded very seriously and will be considered seriously.

Deputy Haughey said one cannot have a change like this overnight. He repeated that twice. There is no intention to do this overnight. That is the whole point of this consultation process.
