The head of An Bord Pleanála has instructed his fellow board members to review their declarations of interest after allegations of misconduct were made against his former deputy.

Dave Walsh, the chair of the embattled planning authority, said he had asked "all board members to review their declarations to make sure that they’re up to date" in the wake of a series of controversies.
