It has been suggested that responsibility for land rezoning could be removed from local authorities. The Minister is of the view that it is inappropriate for them to be involved. I have been a member of Galway County Council for over 17 years during which many conflicts over planning arose. It is still a big issue in the county, especially in west Galway. Many years ago the production team for the television programme "7 Days" researched a programme on what was then known as section 4 motions under the planning Acts, but found no evidence of abuse or corruption. Section 4 motions are no longer used, in County Galway or elsewhere.
