An Taisce notes the statement today of Ms. Jan O’Sullivan, T.D. Minister for Housing and Planning, to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht towards the provision of an Independent Planning Regulator. The provision of an Independent Planning Regulator was a major part of the Mahon Tribunal’s Final Report. An Taisce commends the commitment of the Minister to that end.
