Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I reiterate that I hear and see the Senator's frustration. I have faith in Kieran Mulvey as I have seen him work with previous projects that had been stuck and he has managed to move them on. I do not believe an indefinite time has been given and I certainly would not like to see another three years in mediation. It needs to happen now and if possible, I will revert to the Senator with a more definite timeline in this regard. My information is it is nearing a conclusion. While that answer obviously may not be good enough for the Senator, given this has gone on for so long, I will make inquiries to ascertain whether I can get a timeframe for the end of the discussions.
