Harbour opponents now angry at how plans were displayed

The Bray People writes that opponents of the Greystones harbour development have expressed their annoyance at the manner in which the revised plans were put on display, claiming that it was 'highly confusing'.
The proposals had been on public display at Wicklow County Council, Greystones Town Council and in various libraries for the last three weeks, as directed by An Bord Pleanala.
Those opposed to the development have criticised the presentation of the proposed plans, saying people had to sift through four large files devoid of either a contents or an index page.
'I know of a number of people who have made these remarks to us. It was just a rehash of a lot of information but it was difficult to follow. I also know that coming just after Christmas, people were also unaware that the public consultation was either on, and that it was over so soon,' said Fiachra Etchingham, spokesperson with the Greystones Protection and Development Association (GPDA).
A number of politicians also added their voice to the criticisms, including Labour's Tom Fortune.
