Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

As we speak, the body with responsibility for planning in this regard is Dublin City Council, as is the case with the respective councils in Limerick, Galway, Cork, Waterford and elsewhere. If the Deputy is arguing that her party's councillors on Dublin City Council, working with council officials, do not have the capacity or ability to do this job and a special case must be made for Dublin, the Department will reconsider the position.
