The fact the An Bord Pleanála is overturning fire safety decisions by the local authority fire officers, against the advice of their own inspectors, is deeply disturbing, especially given the recent revelations about the conduct of some members of the board.

An Bord Pleanala was corrupt and making corrupt decisions that were over turned on appeal in the courts. So, of course, Darragh, our completely useless minister for housing, is seeing the big problem as the appeal system and the courts, not our endlessly game gameable and corrupt planning authorities.

A short 🎞️🧵for a hilarious insight into how awful just one of the appalling provisions in the #Planning Bill is on changes to give massive discretion & control to Minister @DarraghOBrienTD over appointments to #AnBordPleanala - watch 3 gems from Seanad debate yesterday 👇🧐

It’s Christmas time, so of course that means another #PlanningBill is being rushed through the Oireachtas. This one will seriously compromise #AnBordPleanala’s independence. Explainer and 🧵 on what’s going on and what you can do. /1 https://www.antaisce.org/news/help-us-safeguard-the-independence-of-an-bord-pleanala @DarraghOBrienTD

Gov & @Darraghobrien are effectively reversing course on 5 decades of policy to keep Minister at arms length😱

Appeal to #AnBordPleanala #ThePlanningCommission

the council planners report stated ...
the scale of studies required across the existing #BrentGeese feeding grounds & potentially across a number of winter seasons would be beyond the remit of a request for further information & therefore permission be refused.

"It's unacceptable that the minister is seeking to yet again rush complex legislation through the Oireachtas in the final days of term. That is not a good way to make law. It will have all sorts of unintended consequences." - Eoin Ó Broin TD

“It’s grossly unfair to somebody ... to find that the goalposts have been moved after they started their proceedings and that they effectively end up challenging a different decision that wasn’t in existence when they started.”

Thanks for posting this.

Bought the paper to read the article today.

Just adding a tag or 2 in this comment...as it might be useful.

Hope you don't mind. Seems you can find very little without tags.
