Dear Councillor, I refer to your letters dated 13th September, 1994 and 17th October, 1994, regarding the above and regret the delay in replying to you, while arrangements and related matters were being clarified and finalised.

All persons who requested an oral hearing in regard to the proposed lane closures in Croydon Green are being notified of the arrangements for same: The hearings are scheduled to begin at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 16th November, 1994 in the Conference Room of the Planning Department, Block 2, Irish Life Centre.

The Department of the Environment has advised that the hearings should be informal. The Assistant City Manager has appointed a number of senior officers in the Planning Department to conduct the oral hearings. Two officers will conduct each hearing. Persons making objections or representations will be allowed to state their case. Clarification may be sought on various points. There will not be any cross-examination, as the emphasis will be on informality throughout.

After the oral hearings, a report and recommendation will be submitted to An Coisde Plean&/ala agus Forbairte in the first instance. The decision on an extinguishment of a right-of-way is a reserved function.

Yours sincerely, JOE SCULLY. PRINCIPAL OFFICER.
