Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
There has been some discussion of An Bord Pleanála today. I am aware of two planning applications which were granted by my local authority but objections were lodged for various reasons and the applications went to An Bord Pleanála. The inspector came down, inspected the applications and recommended that the applications be granted. An Bord Pleanála refused them. I understand no member of the board has ever seen the sites, nor would they know where they are, yet they feel they have the right to refuse those applications.
