Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I ask the Leader that if the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is coming to the House, his attention be drawn to the fact that the management of U2 intends to invoke a rarely used provision in the Planning and Development Act 2000 whereby taxpayers will pay for their failed appeal to An Bord Pleanála on the compulsory purchase of their studio at Hanover Quay. That is somewhat rich for the group concerned. It is an abuse of power. Considering residents' associations must pay their own bills, it would be outrageous if that happened and I hope it does not. I hope the Leader agrees with me on that.
