Mr. Paul O'Brien:

This is a common theme throughout the country. We have met many county councils on behalf of our members and it seems to be a common theme. While there might be 1,200 envelopes sent to people living within the constraint area, none of them are addressed to anybody. Only 50 people may turn up to that consultation. That is not what I would class as a proper consultation given the dramatic impact it could have on people's farm businesses.
