Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

Data on planning enforcement collected by my Department each year are published in Tables 22 to 26 of the Annual Planning Statistics, which are available on my Department’s website: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/PlanningStatistics/

The last publication covers 2011; the 2012 Statistics will be published very shortly. The data collected are not broken down by reference to commercial and individual/residential developments.
