Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I support Senator Coffey's case on An Bord Pleanála. I have raised the issue of An Bord Pleanála on several occasions in the House and asked why inspectors' decisions have been overturned without any reasons being given.

It is stated in the Irish Independent today, "For God's sake, somebody do something". On previous occasions I have asked for a debate on tourism because such a debate is needed. It is a sector in which jobs can be created. Other governments, including the Spanish Government, have taken action. I ask for a debate on what can be done in 2010.
