Talk about being found out. Fianna Fáil is in combative mood tonight. Here is a Fianna Fáil hoax, that it got rid of strategic housing developments, SHDs, before Christmas. As we warned, there was a flood of SHD applications for build-to-rent developments by greedy developers trying to get in on the gold rush in our area as soon as that legislation went through. The Minster said it would not happen. Among other things, as well as a whole load of unwanted private development, it is going to cause major staff problems for our local authorities, which are not equipped to deal with the new regime and the old regime at the same time.
