Dublin Bay Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-08
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

I thank Deputy Bacik for bringing forward this important Bill on Dublin Bay. For my part, as a Dún Laoghaire Deputy in one of the areas that adjoin the Dublin Bay area, and as someone for whom Dublin Bay is a precious resource and amenity, I and my colleagues are happy to support the Bill, what it seeks to achieve in putting a joined-up, coherent focus on protecting the bay as an amenity, a precious resource of biodiversity, a swimming area and all the many other attributes it has. I think I can safely say that I say that on behalf of the Save Our Seafront campaign, of which I am chairman, a group that has campaigned for many years on bay- and seafront-related issues in Dublin Bay. I am therefore very glad to support the Bill. Obviously, we would need to tease through all the detail, but I am sure Deputy Bacik is open to that.
