I propose to take Questions Nos. 571 and 583 together.
MacCabe Durney Barnes Consultants were appointed in February 2014 to carry out an independent planning review on the performance of planning functions having regard to specific planning issues in respect of six 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 received the final report from the consultants in July 2015 and I intend to publish the report shortly having fully considered its contents.
