I am a bit disappointed that there was no acknowledgement of the fact that we have a problem, which we clearly do, not just in County Monaghan but throughout the country. I would be grateful if we could look at some measure to try to something about the backlog not just in Monaghan but elsewhere as well. People's lives are on hold as a result of the delay.

In regard to developer-provided infrastructure, there does not seem to be any green light. I propose the Department look at providing ring-fenced funding in order that developer-provided infrastructure could be tackled and taken in charge by Uisce Éireann. Ultimately, that needs to happen because those people are also in limbo.
