Re: Re: Fast-Track Infrastructure legislation

I don’t welcome it as it makes local people travel to ABP to make comment on major projects wheras before they could express their considerations at Local authority level or simply call their councillor who could make free representation on their behalf; now a €210 fee will be charged by anyone with any type of issue whether grounded or not.

I view this as an another assault on the democracy of the planning process by further dissauding people to make their opinions known; if a plan is properly conceived it can withstand the observation of those that it most affects. This truely is an assault on the little people of Ireland by a government that has delevered less than half of their National Development plan 2000-06; it is they who will be referred in 2007.
