Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion

Mr. Tom Parlon:

Every individual has a right to object. We have no problem with that. There are vexatious objectors and there are people who are using the system just to delay. I came across a commercial business recently in an industrial park that is seeking to extend its manufacturing business, and an objection has been put in. The cause of it was an issue that the objector had with a customer of the particular manufacturing project. He had sufficient power, without having to put any money down, to hold this up and extend it. That is an element I hope the Attorney General will be able to find and get rid of from the system.
