Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I am familiar with the case of a young person in my area who was reared in difficult circumstances and was fortunate to be given land by an uncle on which to build a house. That young person obtained planning permission from the local authority without any third party objection only to be hit with a missile from An Taisce. The young person involved had every opportunity of building a house but was in no position to buy an expensive house in Newbridge. The manner in which he was dealt with was wrong.
