Mr. Jeremy Ryan:

It depends on the shelter. There are sometimes issues with shelters, in particular those that have advertising on them.

Planning certainly will come into that, whether that is considered a requirement or not. That can be an issue with shelter contractors. They will want advertising to subsidise the cost of installing the shelter. Where advertising is not provided at a shelter, it is easy to get those through planning and sometimes planning is not required at all. Dublin city has a different arrangement from other local authorities for approvals. It is easier in Dublin city than elsewhere to get approvals for shelters at the moment.
