I am not looking for a specific date but I would like to think it will be in quarter 1 of 2023. It is right to put an evaluation panel in place. That is good governance, and I welcome that. I spoke about Broadford, but Cooraclare is a key scheme as well. I would also name Carrigaholt and Doolin.No development of any significance can happen in Doolin - this has been the case for the past 15 to 20 years - simply because of the wastewater systems in the area. Some small development has taken place, but people have had to invest in systems themselves. Doolin is probably one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country because it is located next to the Cliffs of Moher. It is also the gateway to the Aran islands. Thousands of people visit Doolin each day during the summer. This scheme is welcome but it needs to be scaled-up as a matter of urgency.
