Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I would welcome a debate in this House on the responsibilities of the citizen with obvious reference to the stomach-churning revelations made by Senator Brian Hayes. I compliment him on bringing these to light. His revelations bring into clear focus the very ugly face of the NIMBY syndrome. I recall reading an article about an incident on the streets of New York some years ago which was similar to the incident reported by Senator Brian Hayes. I said at the time that it was outrageous but such incidents now take place among us. I would welcome a debate on the obligations of the citizen and what he or she should do because this incident clearly shows the NIMBY syndrome may be prevalent today but such incidents could take place in our own backyard tomorrow.
