Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-21
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Anyone is entitled to make a submission to a planning application. An Bord Pleanála is an independent planning authority. It made a decision on the appeal independently and has published the reasons for it. As Minister with responsibility for planning, I cannot say any more on that. Options are open to all parties, should they wish to pursue it further. However, stating that a Minister interfered with the planning process is not correct. The Minister made a submission.
