Irish public 'does not have the confidence they should have in planning process'  

TDs and Senators called for transparency and enhanced public involvement in future planning processes.

The Irish public “does not have the confidence they should have in the planning process”, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Senator Victor Boyhan told the Oireachtas Housing Committee on Thursday that it’s essential that reforms of planning legislation in Ireland restore the public’s confidence in the process, while other TDs and Senators called for transparency and enhanced public involvement in future planning processes.
