I appreciate that. If the Minister of State could provide me with a reply in writing, that would be brilliant. I am finding it difficult not to agree with him on the fact that the work that needs to be done is necessary and is all happening too slowly. I will try to avoid repeating myself.

Obviously, some of these projects will be substantial. I am aware the whole planning process is being reviewed at this point. We know there are significant issues in that regard. Consultation with the community is always a very important part of any work but there are definite difficulties in this regard. The Minister of State himself has spoken about those difficulties. Is any of that impacting on this issue? Is there a need for added resources or further work, particularly as regards the OPW or Louth County Council?
