Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jun 2012)

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jun 2012)

Paul Coghlan: I very much welcome the intended appointment of an independent planning consultant by the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the 12 recommendations made in the review of the planning system in a number of local authorities.
