Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage has been engaging with the working group in respect of developing a scheme. As that group has been meeting, other areas of the country have also signalled potential issues. As the Deputy will be aware, a submission from Clare County Council arrived in the Department at the end of July. That is being reviewed. He will be aware of the Limerick interest at this stage as well. All areas where this manifests itself will get consideration. It is hoped that these discussions can be brought to a conclusion relatively quickly.
