Planning Issues
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-05
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

As the Minister knows, there have been a number of very serious allegations of potential conflicts of interest made in the public domain against an individual member of An Bord Pleanála. My question relates not specifically to the allegations, because I realise the Minister is not in a position to comment on those, but to the terms of reference for the senior counsel review that the Minister has commissioned. Can he confirm that those terms of reference relate to all the allegations of potential conflicts of interest in the public domain? Will he share and discuss them with Opposition spokespeople before he finalises them, which I understand he is due to do imminently?
