Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 May 2015
556. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when he will publish the report into planning irregularities in six local authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17653/15]
View answerMacCabe Durney Barnes Consultants were appointed in February 2014 to carry out an independent planning review on the performance of planning functions in six selected planning authorities (Carlow, Cork, Galway and Meath County Councils and Cork and Dublin City Councils) in accordance with section 255 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended.
I expect to receive the final report from the consultants shortly and I subsequently intend to publish it having considered its contents.
