Dáil passes Planning and Development Bill![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Planning and Development Bill intentionally designed to bypass genuine concerns of the people Last night the Dail passed the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill thereby giving the go-ahead to allow applications to go through a new Strategic Infrastructure Board within An Board Pleanala rather than the normal Local Authority planning applications. This Bill allows for Developers to make applications for proposed incineration sites to go straight through An Bord Pleanala and completely disregard the wishes of the local communities they will be situated on. It also also prevents an application for Judicial Review to be taken by an organisation which has not pursued the same objectives during the last 12 months. This will presumably have the effect pf preventing a newly formed community-concern group from applying for Judicial Review. |
