[1813] Mr. O'Donnell: It was quite recently. Yes, on the 25th April we received information from the council as to the manner in which they proposed servicing these houses. We replied to that on the 19th May, this year, that no further objections would be raised to the proposal provided they were satisfied with the arrangements proposed by the board and subject to the site being serviced when the water supply for Ballivor becomes available. There was no delay once we were satisfied as to how they proposed servicing these houses.
