Mr. Burke was criticised in Mr. Justice Flood's report, particularly in regard to planning decisions. Many people feel the entire planning process stinks but it does not. Most local authority members do the best they can. They are dealing with small communities and when it comes to drafting development plans the rezoning aspect is not of great importance. Politicians are consulted and amendments are drafted to such plans. However, development plans and the planning process belong to the public, not to officials or politicians.
