Amharc ar fhreagraI have considered what next steps need to be taken in respect of certain Donegal County Council planning matters taking account of advice from the Office of the Attorney General. My Department is finalising arrangements for the imminent appointment of a Senior Counsel, on a non-statutory basis, nominated by the Attorney General to prepare a report in relation to these matters in line with terms of reference which have been agreed in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General. The arrangements involved in the preparation of the report will be announced in due course.
