Report this post to the editors

"Planning appeals against major State and private construction projects are to be eliminated, under new measures to speed up the planning process to be brought before the Cabinet shortly."

"Under the proposed new law, decisions on key projects will be taken out of the hands of local authorities and An Bord Pleanála and dealt with by a new authority, the National Infrastructure Body."

"In his address to the Fianna Fáil ardfheis in Killarney on Saturday night, the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, made reference to the new body but did not give details."

This is dangerous stuff. This would be yet another supposedly neutral agency for the Government to hide behind. They will try to impose incinerators on the people of Ireland while their local candidates will claim, "It's nothing to do with us."

This nonsense must be opposed.
