Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Mr. Frank McDonald:
In relation to zoning, obviously the councillors had the whip hand there. As I suggested earlier, I think An Bord Pleanála had a moderating influence on what was going on. That was one of the checks and balances, if one likes. That is something I certainly welcomed but I think that everybody was at fault in believing that we could have development everywhere. That was the fatal flaw.
