Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Departmental. I told them that, from my view of how they were describing it, they were confusing their existing policy mandate and local authorities' planning mandate and intermingling those with what they said the NRDA would be. My advice to them was to set out clearly the responsibilities of the Department and the local authorities so that everyone knew and that the Department should not say that the NRDA would be doing things that the Department was doing from a policy perspective or local authorities were doing from a planning perspective.
