- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: Yes, they cannot comment. The last line mentioned the next county development plan, which will be made in 2028. I sat on Cork County Council a number of years ago. A county development plan can be amended, but it has to go through the council as a democratic vote. That is something I wanted to flag, but I agree. The petition needs to be sent back to the petitioner to see what the...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It may be. To be honest, the response from the council has been fulsome. The committee recommends that the response be sent to the petitioner, but while litigation is ongoing, our hands are probably tied. What Deputy Buckley mentioned may be a way out of it. Is that agreed? Agreed. The next petition is No. P00055/24 "Connect Eating Disorder Care and Provide a Sufficient Level of...

Pat Buckley: It is a pity that the treatment is still being done abroad. A lot of money is being spent on that. The response from the HSE is fairly comprehensive. I am very interested to see what the petitioner comes back with. I am looking forward to what the response is.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is a very appropriate petition. It is disappointing to hear that the petitioner received no response after she complained through the Your Service Your Say service.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: I certainly agree with that.

Martin Browne: There was a television programme about this during the week but I did not see it. It seems to have been shoved up an alleyway in an attempt to get-----

Pat Buckley: I do not see any pathways. There are no pathways in it.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: There are no pathways. Even if there was something for her daughter, changes could be made so this would not happen again.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: The response mentions CAMHS and CHO 4, which covers Cork and Kerry. We do not have to go into that but having 0.04 of a specialist is like having one negative on a racehorse. That will tell you what resources are going into it. As I said, I would like to see the response that comes back from the petitioner on this. At least then we will be able to follow up it for them but I expect some...

Martin Browne: I can confirm, having represented a family in these circumstances, that the gaps in the system are significant. When you try to change them, you are bounced from one place to another, which is very disappointing and heartbreaking for families. We will see what happens. Is it agreed that we will publish them and wait for responses to come back?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: The next petition is No. P00056/24, "A Review of Business Improvement District Scheme", from the Restaurants Association of Ireland. It states: I am writing to you today in my capacity as CEO of the Restaurants Association of Ireland (RAI) which has a large number of restaurants, café, gastropubs and other food-led businesses that are members of the representative body in Dublin city....
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: No, but I have read about the plebiscites and the democratic process that took place in 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022. There were 733 in favour and 476 against. The next one is in place until 2028. I understand where the petitioner is coming from but more dialogue with Dublin City Council is the way to go here. It is a democratic process and it seems to be a fair one, even though the...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: Yes, the Deputy is right. It must be with Dublin City Council. There does not seem to have been any formal process initiated between them.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: I would certainly agree with the recommendations. Let us see what they come back with. You have to talk to people. If you do not have dialogue, you do not get anything done.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: Before we get more involved, there needs to be discussions between the petitioner and Dublin City Council with regard to this. Is that agreed?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: Yes, agreed.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: The next petition is No. P00057/24, “Stop Dublin Airport illegally routing flights over Ratoath and Ashbourne", from Mr. Eoin Keary. It states: A petition was started due to the continuous noise pollution over Ratoath since August 2023 by Dublin Airport. Ratoath suffers from continuous noise pollution as a result on a route followed by aircraft directly over the town. The...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: No, other than to say that there has been much correspondence and more has to be done. The petitioner has committed the DAA to try to sort this out. We know it has spent a lot of money on other issues. Again, I agree that we should send off the response to the petitioner and see what they come back with. It is about everybody working together. I do not know. I am very interested in what...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is a timely petition in light of the current issues regarding overall airport capacity and the extra flights. I agree with Deputy Buckley. We need more detail about what is involved in the review that is taking place. We can make some sort of judgment on what type of consultation is involved between the petitioner and the DAA. If everyone is happy, is that agreed?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Pat Buckley: Yes, that is agreed.
