The Fine Gael party should have to use their own money, especially to finish that hospital.
By their own money I mean the money they have stolen by way of lying.
Glad to see scrutiny of a public or semi-public entity’s win/loss record in court, albeit the focus on money is just populist clickbait.
The number of houses not built might be a better metric.
I actually found that article very difficult to read it was full of legal terms, planning procedure terms and planning law terms. However nothing in the article made me feel good about the future of housing in Ireland. We seem to made the planning permission a much more legal process rather engineering process. But it does highlight some problems with ABP but (and this could be confirmation bias) the conflict between central planning and local government seems to be causing problems as well. It is no wonder we have a housing crisis.
So can we get this clearly:
​
ABP approves property developments (this is good)
People take ABP to court over them because they don’t want housing to be built (this is bad)
ABP try to defend their decision to allow housing to be built and lose (this is really bad)
We get articles like this whinging about the cost of them trying to approve housing?
​
Is that correct? What do people want exactly?
If evil people didn’t continuously take them to court for selfish and frivolous reasons then they wouldn’t have to spend so much money defending their decisions and we could actually get some houses built.
