Committee on Public Petitions

Business of Joint Committee
Consideration of Public Petition on Saving the Services of the Owenacurra Centre in Cork: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

I will start the response to Deputy Buckley. There are a couple of things to pick up on.

I would be concerned that early on in his statement Deputy Buckley mentioned the word "coercion". I would be concerned that that phrase is out there with regards to coercion. Certainly, in the process and in the methodology that is supplied to discuss the movement, I would be very concerned if there was anything remotely like coercion. I would have to say, if there was, we would certainly want to hear the detail of that because that would certainly be totally inappropriate and it certainly is not part of the ongoing process as far as any of us here is concerned.
