Second Interim Report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Statements.

 

I welcome the report. I am delighted with some of its findings. It has demonstrated the fact that no one is above the law. I hope the proposed corrupt assets bureau will find a home for some of the money which was ill-gotten. I am delighted to hear the Minister for the Environment and Local Government say he would stick to the current proposal in relation to the zoning of land and that he sees zoning as a function of local councillors. This contrasts with a previous Minister for the Environment who took a populist approach and said zoning was a debased currency. It was certainly not debased by the majority of councillors.
