Two brothers, operating as environmental non-governmental organisations (NGOs), are systematically objecting to planning applications in order to extract money from developers, an RTÉ documentary will reveal on Monday night.

The two brothers, who have gained a reputation as "serial objectors", have lodged multiple objections to residential and commercial developments across the country, and as a result, multimillion euro projects have been put on hold.
