Loftus seeks public discussion of Dublin Bay

Summary

Loftus presses to raise his matter on the Adjournment and insists that the position on multinational oil companies and Dublin Bay’s future be discussed publicly. The Ceann Comhairle again offers to speak with him privately.

May I raise my question on the Adjournment?

If I cannot get satisfaction in this House there is no hope for democracy.

I am surprised at the Deputy whom I have found to be most courteous. When I give him a reply it is not intended in any way to discriminate against him. I hope he believes that.

I want to be told in public the position about multi-national oil companies.

The Deputy is at liberty to discuss the matter with me in my office.

Seán D. Loftus Mr. Alderman Dublin Bay-Rockall Loftus Independent

I do not want to discuss this in private. I want the public to know what has happened about Dublin Bay's future.
