Sinn Féin has called for the “scandalous” financial “mismanagement” at An Bord Pleanála to be included in the Government’s ongoing review of the body.
New figures released to the party’s housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin show that €1.06m was paid to developers by An Bord Pleanála last year due to the late processing of applications for strategic housing developments (SHDs) – the State’s failed fast-track housing policy.
