No, not right now but her officials can help us in getting the men ready to start work on the turf. All I need is for the officials in her Department to take the information that we and the locals have given them, use it and put in place the measures needed to allow us to get on with the work. I am pleading with the Minister on the record of the Dáil. She was very co-operative until a couple of months ago. I know she has a lot on her plate but given that the sun is shining, I am asking her to approach this in a workperson-like way and to allow us to do the work we want to do and get the turf cut again in Moanveanlagh Bog in Kerry, because it should never have been stopped in the first place.
