Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Senator raised a point with me and I did not respond. I have responded to a number of his colleagues on this issue. I am closely monitoring what is happening and I am very much aware of people's concerns regarding the six different options available. There was an exchange on that. One in particular has an effect on the Galway racecourse, which is a very valuable amenity to the city, the county and beyond. It is my expectation that in the period of consultation that is currently under way, consensus or agreement can be found on that. It is a project which, as the Senator will know because he represents the county and city, has been going on for many years. I hope the period of consultation will lead to some agreement. As I said, it is a matter that I am monitoring.
