We the undersigned have agreed,

The Consortium has come together to assist in the giving effect to the

fashion to the optimum advantage of all stakeholders that have an interest

In order to give effect to the above, we have agreed to continue discussions,
in good faith, amongst the Consortium members and with Louth County Council
