Mr. Stanley Morgan, Secretary, MARINO DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION, c/o 12 St. Catherine Road, Marino, Dublin 3.

May 1995.

Dear Stanley, I am pleased to advise that progress is being made regarding the North Bull Island and the public concern regarding the case for and against breaching the Causeway. I enclose herewith, for your information, communication which I have received from ESB International, together with copy of North Bull Island Study Enquiry Questionnaire.
As you are aware, since my election to the City Council, I have been to the fore on this topic and I am pleased that ESB International have been appointed independent consultants, their brief being as follows;-
assess fully the various environmental impacts of the Causeway.

examine likely future impacts.

consider the case for and against breaching the causeway and other possible measures, including dredging, to restore the lagoon.

undertake a detailed assessment of any proposal to breach the causeway and of any other proposed measure to restore the lagoon.

assess the environmental impacts which would result from the establishment of an 18-hole Par 3 Golf facility in the area east of the Royal Dublin Links. This part of the study arises from a recommendation put forward in the 1977 Foras Forbartha Bull Island Report.

It is important now that this breakthrough has been made that submissions be made by all interested bodies before Friday 16th June 1995 to - North Bull Island Causeway Environmental Impact Study Engineer, ESB International, Stephen Court, 18/21 St. Stephens Green, Dublin 2.
With Every Good Wish, Yours sincerely, IVOR CALLELY T.D.
