Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Feb 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: I was not aware of the situation. One of the lines in the correspondence reads: "However, as mediation requires the agreement and full co-operation of all parties to a dispute". As the family in question has agreed to mediation, this means that the other party has not. It is not good enough that a State body would do such to a family, particularly under the circumstances. I support the...

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: It is the responsibility of Mr. McCarthy's Department to make sure these issues are examined. For example, he said that some of the land may have been zoned at one time and is now dezoned. As far as I am aware, that would only have happened in 2014 when the directive came from the then Minister. At the time of the process of the county development plans in 2014, there was land dezoned but...

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015)

Gabrielle McFadden: Okay, but in a county development plan I presume an executive and a council would look at the land they have and it seems idiotic that one would landlock a piece of land one had such that one could not use it in a county development plan. Surely that is something the watchdog, the Department, should be doing, namely, watching that to stop that happening and rendering land like this unusable...
