Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

The latest piece of interesting detail from the the Midleton Park Oral Hearing on the planned reordering of ST. COlman’s Cathedral is that of 214 objections lodged with Cobh Town Council, Des heffernan, the Senior Planning Officer who was acting in a temporary capacity admitted under cross examination that he had not read ( or indeed seen) more than 70 of those objections. Having checked the objections to-day, it transpires that 92 objections were not read or seen by him. Those 92 objections were submitted by 311 people. This is certainly a very novel approach to democracy and the rule of law. It also seems that 2 objections made by An Taisce may also fall into this catagory and no mention of them is made in Mr. Heffernan’s Report recommending that planning permission be granted to wreck the sanctuary.
