Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage (Resumed). (1 Jun 2005)

Paul Gogarty: One would certainly be a token in light of what Deputy Gregory said, that the community groups who were disenfranchised from consultation yesterday now have an opportunity to possibly have a representative on the agency. In turn, the residents could be disenfranchised. There are distinct and disparate groupings involved. I cannot make a visual speech but, on the latest map supplied by the...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Paul Gogarty: I refer to amendment No. 37. The Minister stated that we are only dealing with the site in this legislation and that the Bill refers only to the agency and the development of the site. However, in the wording of the strategic plan and the written statement, if one does not insert community facilities as well as recreational facilities, one is ignoring the deficit of community facilities in...

Paul Gogarty: I had tabled amendment No. 23 with Deputy Gregory but it does not matter. I understand some of the reasons the Minister will not include community organisations but if this Bill is to enhance integration between the Grangegorman campus and the community at large, community development groups must be considered. The exact nature of that can be worked out later but it would send out a positive...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Paul Gogarty: I want to put one other reason to the Minister. In many cases, opposition to good legislation, which this Bill is, can arise from a misunderstanding or a feeling of alienation. If the people who work in the Dublin Inner City Partnership and other bodies do not believe they are full stakeholders in the project through the wording of this Bill, there is a danger that opposition will arise...

Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Report Stage. (31 May 2005)

Paul Gogarty: I support amendment No. 10, and agree with everything Deputy Gregory has said on it. Where there have been largescale rezonings opposed by the local community, including in my constituency, there has been a tendency to provide facilities for the community rather than facilities to which the community has access. In the context of the local community and neighbouring residents being...
