Tribunals of Inquiry: Statements. (20 Feb 2004)

John Perry: At times is seems as if the Flood and Mahon tribunals have been hanging over the political and planning systems for an eternity.

Tribunals of Inquiry: Statements. (20 Feb 2004)

John Perry: It is disappointing that nothing came of the opportunity to bring in real local government reform with changes in planning relevant to local issues.
