I'm sure there will be more said about this in due course, so I will not say much only that Ms Buckley does not appear to understand the essential role which Judicial Review plays in ensuring the accountabilty for legal decision making of the public authority which she chairs.

Very interesting speech by An Bord Pleanála chair Oonagh Buckley today She said planning law changes will make life “very lucrative” for solicitors who target judicial review cases to make money from the state. She specifically singled out @FredPLogue businesspost.ie/news/plannin…
Planning system overhaul will be ‘very lucrative’ for law firms – Bord Pleanála chair

Oonagh Buckley said many legal firms in Ireland have ‘business models associated’ with taking judicial reviews against the state

Taking someone to court for breaking the law... the very idea. She must have white knuckles from clutching her pearls. 🫢

The reality of what happens with these BTRs. Institutional funds exist to make inflated profits. Providing affordable homes to rent is not what they do.

Meanwhile in Australia we can look at the future of Irish rental housing as it naturally limits its supply in the free market. Gonna be a long time waiting on the flood of supply from the private sector & the prophesied knock on “filtering” & affordability… #BuildToRent

Some nameless "vulture fund" in Luxembourg owns this ordinary semi in Clondalkin that's been left vacant for two years. How can that be justified under any circumstances, least of all in the midst of a housing emergency? ...

Thank you @UnaMullally - “..we have a housing policy crisis alongside a housing crisis…” “treating housing as a commodity and not a social need has been catastrophic” irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/…

Ideological entrenchment of treating housing as a commodity, and not a social need, has been catastrophic

Judicial Review - the only recourse open to concerned communities to overturn horrendous SHD planning decisions by the dysfunctional @anbordpleanala is being removed in the new Planning Bill at the behest of developers’ lobbyists . Cheers @Paschald @votemaryfitz @DarraghOBrienTD

A must read to understand the Planning Bill: “..planning consultant & Property Industry Ireland lobbyist Tom Phillips, who was involved in promoting numerous SHD schemes, said it was beyond time for Gov to ‘grab the judicial review issue by the scruff of the neck’” #AssetUrbanism

“In development the bad drives out the good. If we don’t have a system of stopping the bad development getting pushed through we will never get the good development that my colleagues & the architectural profession are talking about” Well said @FredPLogue irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…

Mick Clifford: Planning bill may be a solution that's not fit for purpose

Pretty shocking stats in this on the levels of vacant shop units around Ireland, with up to 29% empty in some provincial towns. And for every vacant retail premises, you could bet that the upper floors are also vacant. Such a waste all round ...

Someone sent us this poem first published over 100 years ago - "The House with Nobody In It" by Joyce Kilmer. We've dedicated it to one of the properties listed on 'Fibs Estates' - 26 Royal Canal Bank @derelict_dub @LovinDublin @frankmcdonald60 @RoryHearneGaffs @otrosnosotros

Fibs Estates - 18 buildings in Phibsborough alone that have lain derelict and empty for YEARS. Properties with the potential to provide hundreds of housing units. Government has left itself toothless and unable to force owners of derelict properties to bring them back into use.
