Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion
Mr. Tom Parlon:
We absolutely have. Our house builders are sitting on a special working group feeding into that committee. As I mentioned earlier, while certainly we should not take away the rights of people to object, I hope people who have a vexatious objection without any skin in the game will be curtailed very substantially. Likewise, people can access the courts through judicial reviews without any expense or any skin in the game and can hold up mega projects. Unfortunately delays cost builders and developers substantially.
