We have issues whereby the conditions on planning are not enforced and, in some cases, are actually unenforceable. Does the Department see the OPR as having a role in reviewing this situation? Recently, I put in a number of complaints to Cork City Council because electric car charging points were part of a planning process but were never delivered. I contacted the council recently and it said that after years of the issue not being resolved, it is resolved now. However, I got no outline as to how it was resolved or what happened. Is there a potential to create a more enforceable process? This was a condition of the planning process. For years the developer who built this just seemed to dismiss the conditions.
