Just two Bord Pleanála (ABP) board members refused a challenge against a controversial Intel expansion in county Kildare – despite there being a legal requirement for three board members to make such decisions.

An Bord Pleanála (ABP) board member Michelle Fagan voted on a further 15 planning applications in her own Dublin neighbourhood. One of these developments was just 90 metres from her own home.

The Bord Pleanála (ABP) deputy chairperson didn’t declare a conflict of interest when he refused a campaign group a challenge on a €140 million flood-defence scheme now subject of Supreme Court proceedings.

Environment minister Eamon Ryan just more than a month ago claimed to have opened a solar farm that is yet to supply any electricity to the national grid.

An Bord Pleanála (ABP) deputy chairperson Paul Hyde granted planning permission to a property developer represented by his former board colleague.
