Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

Regardless of the merits of the Minister's argument, if he has important health and safety issues to address, he needs to make them known. As I stated previously, we cannot have one law for the park and another for the streets of the town and all its connecting roadways. Consultation and dialogue are required that must also involve the licensing authority, the local authority. I call on the Minister to reverse immediately this lunatic policy, resolve this matter and get involved. The mayor of Killarney has offered to mediate.
