Have been banging the drum about Hyde ever since it was discovered that he was put forward by a defuct nomination board.
This is the biggest most lucrative scandal in Irish history.
The land, development contracts and decades/generations of rent that have been stolen is unfathomable.
He is the Fine Gael man on ABP to dole out the money for party connections
AND HE DIDNT FUCKIN GET THERE **ALONE**
Ireland is too small a country to have these kinds of groups deciding which developments go ahead or which don’t. The chance of someone having an interest in the outcome is too great. The rules are too vague, and the appointments are too political. The rules need to be rigorous and excruciatingly specific so when a development is put forward then it lives or dies by its adherence to the rules, not someone’s opinion of how it adheres to the general sense of some guidelines written by a government who is being lobbied by industries.
Where’s the evidence for that claim?
ABP are useless, but that’s more to do with the ludicrous nature of the 2000 Act as much as anything.
It’s costing us homes, sites where homes can be built are just been flipped instead, same sites, bought, get planning, then sold on and repeat or try for bigger planning and just sell on. There are 3 big sites just on my road alone in dublin with full planning for hundreds of homes and guess what, years later and still no new homes. just derelict sites where they make noise every few months to “prove” they are not derelict.
