Second Interim Report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Statements.
The Minister of State has also said it is better to leave responsibility for rezoning in the hands of councillors. I agree and believe it is very important for representative democracy. I disagree with the move by the Minister for Transport to introduce quangos to take planning decisions. We already have this in the shape of the DTO and the NRA and it is not good for representative democracy. I suggest the money from corruption proceeds be put into the communities affected by corruption where it should be used to provide facilities.
