Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Robin Mandal:

I can understand that from the decision maker’s point of view, the fewer words he or she writes, the safer it is. However, it would be nice if there were something like parliamentary privilege where decision makers could say what they thought and not be drawn over the coals. If people understood why decisions were made, it would defuse 90% of the disputes. It is difficult for a decision maker to write that down.
