As I am now chair of the Howth/Malahide Area Committee, I am also chair
of the Howth Special Amenity Area Order Committee.  Unfortunately
the Committee has not met for about 2 years;  there has been no
clear explanation of why this is the case.  I will be ensuring
that the SAAO Committee meets regularly and I submitted a motion in
relation to this to the Area Committee on 15th September, which was
agreed.
