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)

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...

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.
