An external investigation into An Bord Pleanála could see employees, including board members, censured or disciplined over the inappropriate allocation of case files relating to telecommunications masts.
The newly-published terms of reference of the ongoing investigation say senior counsel Lorna Lynch should consider six aspects of roughly 300 case files to determine whether anything meriting disciplinary action took place, and whether any lessons can be gleaned from them.
