Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Messages to Dáil and Seanad
Mr. Declan Burke:
Our approach, if we were installing a new regulating station, would be to go out and survey the area. We speak to the local area engineer to get knowledge of the area and suitability. We also ascertain if there are residents' committees. We knock on doors. We approach the public and say who we are and that we are looking to install a gas regulation station. We have developed a list of frequently asked questions for the general public. There is very much a consultation process. We are minded as we go through the planning process that queries may arise or we are asked by the planning authority what level of consultation Gas Networks Ireland has completed. It is very much a consultation process.
