Council accused of breaking its own rules with flag pole dig
Independent local election candidate and architect, Oliver Dempsey said Waterford City Council erected 25 flag poles at a cost of around €100,000 in the vicinity of the Bishop's Palace, which is a protected structure.
Waterford City Council hit back saying the works are not included in the prescribed developments for which the Part 8 Planning Procedure is required and, as the cost of the works did not exceed €126,000, it was not necessary to undertake prescribed procedure in order to carry out these works.
