I accept that. We are in an incredibly precarious situation and we need to make sure all is done in respect of protecting our communities from flood risk and many other risks that are ahead of us in a changing world. As regards Annagassan and Termonfeckin, we need those processes to conclude within the timeline the Minister of State has spoken about and we must then ensure the other processes are in play. The Minister of State has been quite vociferous in public on planning issues that have impacted on projects like this. We are all aware of the AG review and other pieces of work that are being proposed by Government. Could the Minister of State give an update on the state of play and how he sees things progressing as regards being able to deliver these projects in a timely fashion, which is absolutely necessary to protect these communities?
