Déirdre de Búrca (Green Party)

The reason I raised this matter and said the Minister should appear in the House is that the Dublin Docklands Development Authority is a statutory agency. There are serious questions about the assurances allegedly given to Mr. McNamara that the Dublin Docklands Development Authority could fast-track planning permission for the site and that it would not be subject to a planning appeal. The background is the annual report of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority. The 2008 annual report has not yet been published and questions must be answered about the finances of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority. For that reason I ask the Minister to appear before the House.
