The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is precluded, under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, from exercising any power or control in relation to any individual planning application or appeal with which a planning authority or an Bord Pleanála is or may be concerned. The complainant concerned has been informed of this situation several times in direct contacts with officials in my Department.

The response to the Deputy's subsequent representations was dealt with in accordance with standard office procedures for such representations and I have already issued a reply in the matter.
