Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I have three short questions. Did I hear the Minister correctly when he said there was a 10% increase in appeals to An Bord Pleanála? As regards the backlog of appeals, does the Minister still share my view, and that of many people in Dublin North Central, that the proposal of the Dublin Port Company to fill in 52 acres of Dublin Bay, currently before An Bord Pleanála, is environmental vandalism? What is his current view on the position?
