Ciarán Cannon: ...When Mr. Bakhurst was asked about this earlier, he was not even aware of it. He was not aware who had made that decision, or why the figure of €80,000 a year, which is €240,000 over three years, had been applied. That might seem inconsequential in an organisation that spends millions of euro every year, but in terms of the optics of that to the general public, not knowing...

Ciarán Cannon: ...tourism development rather than enhance are being taken on board. One aspect of that I would be genuinely concerned about is the instrument we use to determine where these planning guidelines will apply.
