Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petitions on Unauthorised Developments

I apologise to the witnesses for having to rush off for a vote in the Seanad. I will not say much about this because apparently another case in that area is ongoing in the courts. I acknowledge the presentation by Mr. Barrett and the other witnesses. As I understand it, all he wants is for this to be regularised, put through the proper planning process and made safe. That is to his credit and that is how I understand it. We should ask representatives of Westmeath County Council and Waterways Ireland to appear before the committee. Has Mr. O'Sullivan or Mr. Barrett had recent contact with Westmeath County Council or Waterways Ireland? I will leave that for today because obviously we will have another day on this.
