Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Paul Hogan:

It is always on an area by area or a case-by-case basis. It is hard to generalise. One of the problems we have had - we are familiar with this in parts of west Dublin where there has been a standard - is that areas have been lumped together and just become a mass of green spaces with no particular purpose, other than providing pitches or something like that. Oftentimes they are not used intensively to provide real value.
