It’s true that judical reviews can be used by protesters to frustrate the building process because it adds months or years to the building process. But it continues to exist and will be backed by the public because people don’t trust local authorities or politically influenced planning authorities.
It will be very hard for the government to change this setup.
Come on, Michael, you can do it!
Was minister Darragh O’Brien not in the FFG government last term or something? This is something they said they would fix. The politicking on FFG’s part is so utterly cynical at this point I feel sorry for the type of gobshite who would even give their utterances the benefit of the doubt.
Courts enforce planning planning law and local rights, if there is an issue with courts there’s an issue with the law
Michael Trump himself
The Courts dont decide planning. A judicial review isnt the same as planning. It is in the name – judicial review. A judge looks at the process.
We have a terrible backlog across all our courts, because we dont have enough judges by half a stretch. FG were boasting in the election of appointing less than 50 judges kver last few years. Nothing. The main objection to JRs is the delay- but do we scrap other legal oversights because they take too long? Obviously not.
For how ineffective our courts are, look how quickly they operate in the UK. Prosecutions and convictions within weeks, not months and years
If the rules the councils are breaking that leads to them losing JRs are wrong, change the rules (I be they’re fine – mostly it is environmental)
Plenty of poor planning decisions made by planning authorities (under planning rules and guidance issued by the Governmnt and Councils (controlled by same parties)), but that’s different
This is just more deflection from the compelte failure of FFG’s milquetoast hollow state liberalism
“Asked about the impact of judicial delays today, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the Planning Act, which has not yet taken effect, will deal with this issue. ”
This thing is, like everything to do with planning, taking fucking forever.
Feels like this guy is in one prolonged filibuster.
So who ensures the law is followed?
Oh wow, he’s pushing!
Obviously the goal should be to speed up planning and building while maintaining transparency over the process through light touch judicial oversight.
He just wants people to go to the FF Galway races tent with an envelope full of cash like the good old days.
Judicial Review’s are the only reason St. Anne’s Park doesn’t have a load of high rises sticking up out of it – we absolutely need these to protect the few major parks we have, as developers and politicians have more than half a century of precedent of taking the piss.
Pretty dangerous ground for MM to suggest that judicial oversight should be weakened in any area. Sets a precedent that completely uundermines checks and balances in law and society.
It’s planning today, something else tomorrow (yes, the old slippery slope)
