Tony McCormack (Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I know Mr. Cussen wants to come in but I have a couple of questions for him as well because I did not want to leave him on his own. We have looked at previous county development plans. I know the population numbers in Offaly were wrong and, from colleagues, I know others across the country were wrong. Why did we get that so wrong? Are the OPR's assessments of county development plans publicly available? If so, where? Does the OPR assist community groups or citizens on engaging in the decision-making process, apart from submissions to the county development plans? Does the OPR follow up with local authorities on how plans are implemented on the ground? What roles does the OPR play in monitoring planning outcomes or development trends after the plan is adopted?
