I welcome constructive engagement at any level but at this stage we need action. It was the Government's own expert group and it is acting on a recommendation that asked for a transition director. It did not ask for a joint CEO. The Minister of State is acting on that but he is not acting on the clear findings that both local authorities have been significantly underfunded since 2008. As public representatives, we are in receipt of constant representations on this matter.
