3 4 CHAIRMAN: Good morning, Miss - Planning Tribunal

30
1 Q 137That would be Mr. Kennedy and Mrs. Owen?
2 A Yes.
3 Q 138In terms of the actual preparation of the motion, are you more likely to have
4 been the person who prepared the motion?
5 A Probably would have been, it may have been typed in the council office itself.
6 Q 139Certainly Mr. Dunlop says he made a contribution to it and that he hand-wrote
7 the words 'excluding the lands highlighted in yellow' on to the motion, but he
8 says he did not get it typed and that is not a typescript he was familiar with
9 at that time?
10 A I am not sure but, I mean, I have no problem saying I was the one that would
11 have been supporting this amendment.
12 Q 140And is it more likely then, Mr. Wright, that you prepared it?
13 A It's quite possible.
14 Q 141And you had, I think you told us on Friday, no difficulty with those being
15 removed because the landowner didn't want his lands rezoned?
16 A You must remember at that stage the type of planning we were dealing with. The
17 plan was, the manager had decided, the planning authority had decided that
18 there would be no zoning, there would be no houses whatsoever in the electoral
19 ward of Malahide/Portmarnock, none whatsoever. So it was -- most of the
20 proposals emanated from individuals themselves, that was the only way the
21 process would allow it. But in the context of the area itself, for planning
22 reasons and other reasons I supported that and in the context of the ends, that
23 Mr. Fox did not want to proceed, it was deleted: I think he has given reasons
24 for that at that time, he has given reasons in evidence and so on.
25 Q 142I think, as far as you were concerned, what you told the Tribunal on Friday,
26 Mr. Wright, once Mr. Fox didn't want his lands rezoned, you were happy to run
27 with that?
28 A Yes, in what was there, yes.
29 Q 143If I could ask you about an entry in Mr. Dunlop's diary of the 21st September
30 1993, which is in the week and a half prior to the confirming meeting, at page
