In his opening remarks, Mr. McDonald said he had no doubt that there has been corruption elsewhere outside of County Dublin which was examined in the tribunal, otherwise decisions made by elected representatives, against the advice of planning officials, are inexplicable.

Can Mr. McDonald elaborate on what he means by that, and how widespread he believes that practice was?
