============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Kerrane for raising this issue and I acknowledge her work on it. I am pleased that the Minister of State, Deputy O’Donnell, was able to visit and meet the Deputy in the past couple of days. I was not at Lough Funshinagh but did meet some local residents informally and intend to visit the area and meet the Deputy and her colleagues there. As she said, the Minister of State did ask that the Attorney General provide advice on this. This issue is not about money or a lack of will; we need to find a way forward so we can save the homes and help the people. I have asked that the Attorney General prioritise the advice. As soon as we have it, I will be back to engage with the Deputy further on this.
