In too many cases for my liking, developers drew down money from purchasers, put it in their pockets and clipped it away. If any entity is to retain funding appropriately, it should be the planning authority. We have been discussing this matter for years. I discussed it 30 years ago. The late Gerry L'Estrange, God rest his soul, was a member of Westmeath County Council in 1979 when he and I tabled a joint motion. I am glad it will be addressed at long last.
