Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I want a debate, of course. However, there were serious irregular planning practices taking place with the authority that apparently will cost the State much money in ensuing litigation which is piling up. Owing to the interconnection between the authority and Anglo Irish Bank, alluded to earlier, it is necessary that aspect is included in a debate. Such a debate is ideal for this House because it is more objective and less partisan than the other House. The Seanad would do such a debate more justice.
