Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 March 2012
361 Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, in view of the recent decision by An Bord Pleanála to refuse the new children’s hospital, the number of members that actually made this decision; if the chairman used his casting vote with regard to this decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13719/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn Bord Pleanála is an independent body, with statutory functions provided for under the Planning and Development Act 2000. As Minister, I am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which An Bord Pleanála is or may be concerned, and it is not, therefore, appropriate for me to comment on a decision made by the Board. Details of all decisions made by the Board are, however, available on its website at www.pleanala.ie.
