Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The technical issues were highlighted in a response from the Department to me and other Deputies from the area previously. Subsequently, I got back on to Fingal County Council and believed the blame was at its door. I was led to believe the technical problems with acquisition were mainly associated with the council but I received a communication from it yesterday to assure me it has taken this process as far as it can go. It has done everything. The council states the acquisition of the site and dealings with the landowner have been completed and that the matter is with the technical assessors in the Minister's Department. I would be really grateful if he could come back to me on this. Some of his party colleagues, and probably all the Deputies in the area, have been in touch on this. Collectively, we really want this project delivered as soon as possible. The site has been pinpointed for a very long time. It is shameful if the project is being kicked between the council and the Department and getting nowhere. We would be very grateful if the Minister could revert to us as soon as possible.
