Mr. Frank McDonald:

No, I do not believe that was the case at all. An Taisce and any sensible residents' association in Dublin would certainly have supported the strategic planning guidelines for the greater Dublin area. Those guidelines became yet another example of the way we do things in this country which is we write loads of stuff down as aspirations and aims and objectives and mission statements and all the rest of it but there is no determination behind it to actually implement what is written down. The strategic planning guidelines for the greater Dublin area that date from 1999 turned out to be a total paper tiger.
