Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I would appeal to the local authority and its members to work with local residents to get this issue resolved. Very often we have a dilemma here because people decry the taking away of powers from local authorities on an increasing basis. If we centralise everything, I think we will be in difficulty too. I do not know the specifics of the case but it is something that should be resolved with the council - not only the management but the representatives as well. Surely there must be mechanisms to do that. In any event I will ask the Minister to examine it and see what he can do.
