Mr. Griffin has filled the vacuum in this area. It is important, given his continuity in office, that this direction be verbalised. There has been a deficiency in the public conversation on this issue in that it has focused almost entirely on the setback distance. That is what has been reported on, but that should not be the case. Mr. Griffin has just clarified that there is a bigger consideration that needs to take centre stage in the context of guidelines to be published, namely, noise and its potential effect on individuals and their health.
