Noel Coonan (Tipperary North, Fine Gael)

In recognising the good work being done by the Department and local communities, does the Minister of State think it is wise to pursue a policy that does not have the support of local people and to force accommodation on communities that are not in full agreement with it, particularly where it is driven by an agency that is hostile towards those communities? Should the Minister of State not pursue a policy that has support because we will never solve this problem unless we have the support of local communities?
