He did not mention rates but I am mentioning them. It shows a clear vested interest. The council would obviously and correctly be interested in increasing revenue, so of course there is a vested interest. The council would also be involved with planning, which directly impinges on an airport's operation. It is perfectly clear that under that regulation, Fingal County Council would not be the most appropriate authority to deal with this matter.
