A Fianna Fáil TD has failed in his bid to secure planning permission for a family home after he disclosed to An Bord Pleanála that he owns another house in the area.

This follows An Bord Pleanála refusing planning permission to Cathal Crowe after finding that Mr Crowe’s need to live in the local area “can be met by property and land in his ownership”.
