Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his response. I appreciate he is just taking this matter on behalf of someone else but, unfortunately, the response does not even mention the question in hand. We are wasting everybody's time in many regards with this very disappointing response. It leaves me in a situation whereby I do not know where to go from here.
Will the Minister of State follow up on my behalf regarding the question I raised that has not been addressed in his response? It is very disappointing, not just for me but the thousands of people who find themselves in situations where their lives are put on hold because of Irish Water not being in a position, either due to a lack of manpower or some other reason, to be able to progress these applications for taking in charge. I do not know the reason but, unfortunately, the question I raised has not been answered.
