No record of councillor speeches, says judge

THERE are no records of Fianna Fáil member, Tony Fox, speaking at council meetings to discuss the development of lands at Carrickmines, Co Dublin, despite his claims that he had always argued strongly in favour of their rezoning.

Tribunal judge, Ms Mary Faherty pointed out to Cllr Fox that the minutes of four separate council meetings between 1990 and 1997 at which the lands were discussed failed to record him contributing to any debate.

Mr Fox said he had made unrecorded comments at one or more of the meetings but insisted he had still made his views known.
