Mr. O'Connor, therefore, thinks he is displaying good judgment to take up the position, despite wide public concern. I would like to elaborate on judgment because it is important. As chairman of An Bord Pleanála, he dealt with a case of interest to me and to the previous environment committee relating to the County Kildare landfill in Usk. The High Court ruled in 2006 that it found the process within An Bord Pleanála to be "unfair and displayed objective bias". Mr. O'Connor was chairman at the time. Did that statement cause a problem for him?
