John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

My intention is to have a public meeting in Portrane to explain why we are thinking of locating there rather than having people believe our decision was made in advance of their having an input. There has not yet been a formal decision. The Government must decide, over the next three months, how to fund the project. I intend to meet the residents in public when we have some objections.
