I thank the Minister of State for his response. In a town like Drogheda, or indeed in any town or city in Ireland where such problems are identified, immediate action is what the citizens must see. They must see action on the ground. I appreciate the Minister of State has outlined a number of engagements that are taking place but real action must be seen publicly to be taking place. Citizens in a place like Drogheda do not necessarily understand that all of this administrative work, engagement and meeting must take place. What they really must see is action. Living in a dangerous situation like that, they need to know the Government is with them. I therefore ask the Minister of State to expedite whatever is going on. I thank him for taking the time to come here and debate this matter.
