The county manager cited a problem of inactive leases sterilising areas. Can he elaborate on this and how they sterilise areas? He also mentioned he prefers to see consent applications dealt with by local authorities. I do not mean to misinterpret Mr. Coughlan. Can he give examples of consent applications, how they differ and how they differ in concrete terms from applications that must be made to An Bord Pleanála?
