I again thank the Senator for outlining the position in his community regarding the projects and the NTA. I will absolutely go back to the Minister. I always report back to senior Ministers when an issue comes up during engagements with Senators, especially when there are concerns in the context of State agencies liaising with public representatives. This is a very important issue. During my time on Westmeath County Council, we used to send a delegation twice yearly to the NTA to discuss projects within the county of that were of concern. There is potential for something like that to be set up in this instance. I will ask the Minister to get back to the Senator on the question of why his request for a meeting has not been responded to.
