Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

In a word, yes, but I do not think it is limited just to public representatives. It is endemic in Irish society. It is called all sorts of names, whether NIMBYism or something else. We need to be grown-up about this and we need to understand that if we are going to do things the right way, there are going to be losers and people who, unfortunately, are disadvantaged in those situations.
