Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The people of Balbriggan are upset by allegations of racism against them when that was not the case. The Department of Education and Science has a strong development and planning unit and close links with the local councils, which are obliged to notify and consult with the Department on zonings and developments. During the coming weeks, we will be tightening up on the individuals involved in the issue.
