Ms Kay Gleeson:

I agree with the Deputy about the local councils and uncertainty about the SPCs. Our representatives feel that some of those meetings really should not be happening. I know a report on the SPCs will be done after the next local elections next year.

I really appreciate listening to the point of view of the chambers. I have a bit of business experience and I deal with many of the people in Dún Laoghaire so I know what is happening on the ground there. It was really interesting to hear from them. I very much appreciate being present at this meeting.
