My Department has been actively engaged in addressing allegations made by the individual referenced. Senior Counsel has been appointed on a non-statutory basis to conduct an independent review in relation to certain allegations made regarding planning in Donegal and I understand that the individual concerned has met with Senior Counsel to discuss his allegations.

I understand that Senior Counsel expects to complete his independent review by mid June 2017. Once I have received his report, I will carefully consider the contents and  any recommendations made in order to determine what further actions may be necessary.
