One would try to find out at the outset if something had planning or did not. The Chairman said we needed to write to the Chief State Solicitor's office to ask what sanctions there are. We need to ask who made the error, without actually naming the person. How did this error occur and were they provided with false information by other experts for the landlord or agents, be they legal or auctioneers? If they were providing the Department with false information there may be a potential for recourse. If the mistake was in the Chief State Solicitor's office, was there sanction against the person or persons responsible for this error and what procedures have been put in place to ensure such a calamitous error will never be made again?
