Ms Sarah Clancy:

Time would need to be set aside. All of the PPNs have done things like that. We had a conference, Rural Rejigs, where had all sorts of chats out of which very positive things came. We got to know some of the farming representatives and built good working relationships with people in our communities from it. Other PPNs have similar examples. There will have to be real dialogue. Framing it as a just transition will probably help. At the very least, it will help people using a just transition against what it is we are trying to achieve, if it shows a real understanding of a just transition. If a justice analysis has been done of decisions that are being taken by the Government and it has been decided they are in the best interests of the majority of people and do not counteract the rights of a minority, should this be consulted on? Consult where communities can change the outcome. If communities cannot change the outcome, do not consult them. The Government should do its best to inform them as to why it is happening. Expect them to resist if they do not agree with the Government. It should be willing for that to happen.
