In recent days the Taoiseach made a speech about people in this country who find themselves up against "city hall". It was specifically in relation to the Stardust. I cannot understand how any organisation would force a community to go down the FOI route to get answers to simple questions that should be answered by default. The local authority is there to serve the community and not to fight it. It appears the local authority is fighting the community at every step of the way. Mr. Carney mentioned the cost of the connection fee, which he estimates will be €3,000. Is this the rumour or hearsay?
