Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

Can I respond to Deputy Sargent, with whom I served at local authority level for some time? The Deputy mentioned Fingal Development Board. I would like to add to what I said earlier in that regard. I am aware that Fingal County Council is one of the most progressive local authorities when it comes to planning for the future. I am conscious of the tremendous work of South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown county councils, which are using the data that is available to them from the CSO and other sources. Surveys have been conducted on traffic movements, etc. I reiterate that this work is invaluable to development boards like Fingal Development Board. I warmly encourage the work of such boards.
