Mr. Cian Moloney:

I addressed these issues in my submission. When we first learned of the consultation process and travelled our area raising awareness, landowners the length and breadth of the routes in and around New Ross and Wexford had no idea what was being proposed. Some advertisements were placed in newspapers and an office was occupied for six hours on a Wednesday afternoon down a side street in New Ross. People had to find it and ask questions if they so wished. That clearly does not constitute effective consultation.
