Unlocking Barriers to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Conor O'Connell:
We have made our position quite clear publicly over the last number of weeks that we are very concerned about the extent of judicial reviews in this country. In recent times, we feel the use of judicial reviews for matters other than planning matters is a significant departure from recent judicial reviews against planning decisions. We now have judicial reviews being used against the water connections and against a decision of the Government in relation to apartment design standards. That would be a significant concern for the construction sector.
