Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

If the planning authority does not get one under one heading, it will get one under another. It might decide that it does not like the shape or height of the house one is planning to build. Everybody will agree that, for safety reasons, the site should extend for a certain distance to the left and right of the house. I am appalled and alarmed by the manner in which decent and ordinary people are being refused planning permission on a daily basis.
