Alan Farrell (FG), Dublin Fingal

I completely agree with Deputy Ó Cathasaigh, particularly his opening remarks. To me this is about empowering communities to feel ownership of such projects, particularly with regard to the benefit that communities can gain. In the context of Deputy Matthews's question, ensuring citizen engagement in these processes is paramount. I echo what Deputy Ó Cathasaigh said on the benefits and how we can instil it in communities during the planning process for these projects.
