Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I assure the Deputy that I will organise a meeting between the Dublin City Council engineers and officials from the OPW to see whether a more creative solution can be found. I will attend this meeting myself and will invite the Deputy to join me. Just as the OPW is governed by its mandate, the council is equally governed by the mandate it receives from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. Nevertheless, I will arrange a meeting in the next two weeks to bring all the parties together. I give the Deputy my word on this.
