Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2009
323 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Transport if, further to the completion of the ERM report on public safety zones at the State airports, he will provide a complete list of all documents, meetings, maps, submissions and so on pertaining to the said process since its inception; the location at which such documents are available for inspection by members of the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22050/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraMost of the information sought by the Deputy is contained in the ERM Report on Public Safety Zones at the State Airports. The Report is on my Department's website, and includes detailed maps. In addition ERM engaged in a public consultation process including open days. Full details of these public consultations, including submissions and comments received, and responses to the submissions, are set out in an Annex to the Report. As part of the normal policy making process my Department has additional material on file related to this issue. However the deliberative process on this issue is not yet completed. Accordingly it would not be appropriate nor would it be normal practice to make all documents associated with this process available to the public at this stage.
