Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Fine Gael)

The Minister did not answer my question on whether he will sign an order for the development to go ahead. I raised this matter on the Adjournment but unfortunately the Minister was not present in the Chamber. I welcome the appointment of Professor Niamh Brennan. She is a person of integrity but it is not feasible that she is in a position as head of the board of the DDDA to conduct an independent inquiry. That would be a bizarre situation. It would be worthwhile for the Minister to consider an independent inquiry.
