John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It would be fair to clarify that no one is opposed to reasonable standards. It is just that we are all aware how long it takes to complete all these forms, maintain all the paperwork and then have it ready for the Houses of the Oireachtas should it be inspected. Many councillors are sent from pillar to post with all of these strategic policy committees, district meetings and so on. The Minister is putting a huge burden on them. That is my only concern.
