Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

There is no point in Deputy Cairns chiding me for her having received a holding response over the past two years. I cannot believe how she would expect to get anything other than a holding response for the past two years, given that the matter was being considered by the courts. It is only a month ago that we received the final judgment from the courts. Until then, any response the Deputy would have got would have been the same, that is, that we were waiting for the final judgment and were not in a position to do anything until we got it. That is the only response the Deputy could have got and the only response she could have expected to have got over those two years.
