Mr. Kenny Jacobs:
It has made a determination on our count that the Deputy can ask it about, but from our point of view it is confirmed that our definition in respect of the single counting of transfers and moving transfers to transit is valid.
I met representatives of the St. Margaret’s group as part of a meeting with the two community groups. It was a very long and productive evening and more than 30 questions were answered. I gave a commitment to the group that I would be happy to meet it again before the end of the year, and that is still the case.
On insulation, we will be guided by Fingal County Council. If ANCA states the buildings at Thornton Hall or Portmarnock should be insulated because they come into a particular contour, we will of course insulate them because we will follow what the regulator says. A level of around 50 dB or 55 dB is below the typical level requiring insulation, but let us see what comes out in the new contours from ANCA.
