Paul McAuliffe: This follows on from Deputy Ó Broin’s comments about egregious breaches and more minor breaches. I fully accept Mr. Ryan's point that it is very difficult to define.

Paul McAuliffe: I will add one question, which might save time in the context of coming back twice. I will make one suggestion - in order to save it being made when it comes to introducing amendments - regarding to the issue of notification of those on adjoining sites. We have lots of complicated streetscapes in many of our cities. People could have a planning application with a notice in their garden,...
