There was no objection from any of the statutory organisations. I would have thought, in arriving at the decision, that would be a significant factor. Mr. Keegan repeatedly cited his concern for residents and their views. I appreciate that he has to take account of the views of those who live in the vicinity of the stadium but let us examine the matter more closely. There were at least 11 fraudulent representations. He brought those to the attention of An Garda Síochána. He noted in his presentation that acknowledgements were sent only where an e-mail or postal address was attached to the observation. I presume, therefore, that a batch of objections did not have that kind of contact information. Am I correct in that presumption?
