Second Interim Report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Statements.

 

I generally agree with Senator Morrissey and I listened with great care and interest to his speech, particularly what he had to say about the culture and climate of the old Dublin County Council at the time in question. I agree that it should be a matter for elected local people in whatever authority to which they are attached, whatever part of the country that may be. Politicians must always be wary of what is developer led. The politicians must decide and should be free to do so in consultation with their officials. I hope the officials would be above reproach but, as we sadly know, maybe there were not in all cases.
