Mr. Owen Keegan:

We are discussing the suitability of the site. The site emerged from a site selection study. People have raised concerns about the site's suitability but the issues have been adjudicated on by An Bord Pleanála. Traffic management concerns and emissions have all been discussed. These are not issues for Dublin City Council to decide; they are decided by independent bodies. The bodies have adjudicated on all of these issues and the project got the required consent. The Deputy may think it is a bad site and I happen to think it is a very good site, but at the end of the day all that matters is that the agency with the statutory responsibility for making the determination has determined that this is an appropriate site and granted planning permission.
