Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tom Flynn:

It does to a degree. As lawyers, we have a professional obligation to advance statable cases. All of the lawyers present have experience of explaining to clients who may feel very strongly about a proposed development that, unfortunately, we take the view that the case is not statable and may not succeed even if leave is obtained. People have to make decisions in that regard as well.
