Joe O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for the question. As soon as a Government decision was made last week, the community engagement team informed local TDs and councillors in Dublin Fingal. The site is close to me. I will check to see what was done there. We are operating on the basis that we give representatives all of the information when we have it. The reality of the situation is that it is a staged process. There will be stages where we do not have information. The community engagement team will set dates. I understand there are proposals to meet local representatives over the next week. The team will share the information it has at that stage. The downside of us being upfront and early with information is that we do not have all of the information upfront. My understanding is that an assessment is being carried out in respect of the site in order to see what will be viable. As soon as we have the information to share, we will do that.
