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

 

The report is substantive and requires full and proper consideration, but it was evident even before Mr. Justice Flood had compiled it that people who were absolutely disgusting in their actions were going to be rooted out. Such people took it upon themselves to enter council chambers to vote contrary to the advice of planners, management and officials who were suitably qualified. They benefited no end as Mr. Justice Flood has proved that they accepted corrupt payments. That is the crux of the issue. His report states the case quite clearly and therein lies the appalling vista of the behaviour of some on the county council in question.
