GREEN Party TD Brian Leddin has defended the fact he did not present at the oral hearing into Irish Cement’s €10m plan for Limerick.
Mr Leddin was the city’s only Dail representative who did not address the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inquiry into the firm’s proposals for its site in Mungret.
However, local Green councillor Sasa Novak – who replaced Mr Leddin upon his elevation to the Oireachtas – spoke, as did Claire Keating, a member of Limerick Against Pollution, who also ran for the party in February’s general election.
