THE FINAL REPORT of the Mahon Tribunal is to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Revenue Commissioners and the Garda Commissioner, the government has said.
In a brief statement the government said the report would also be sent to the Standards and Public Office Commission, for their investigation into whether any public officials were in breach of ethics legislation.
It has also been confirmed that the Dáil will devote almost the entirety of its sittings next week to debate and discuss the findings of the report.
TDs will devote most of their sittings next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to debate the findings, which were published this morning.
The report will also be discussed at the weekly cabinet meeting next Tuesday morning.
The rearrangement of next week’s Dáil sittings will mean a brief delay in finalising legislation enforcing gender quotas in the next General Election.
Can’t see this happen in any shape or form!
Why? Any logical reason, or just populist begrudgery?
Well, if it does, I hope he makes €380 million profit, and that he uses it (all) to pay off his debt to NAMA. Now that I don’t see happening.
Is there not enough empty apartments already
You must mean ARE there not enough? To which the answer is no, not enough of sufficient quality in the appropriate areas. Duplexes in Co Roscommon – well now that’s a different story which only the wrecking ball can truly answer.
I don’t know which is worse the planners(bad name) continuing to grant permission for developement or mcGuiness for President.
I do know – it’s the planners, they cost more than the terrorists and the drug dealers combined. The country is ruined as a result of bad planning decisions.
Dead on. These people are a law unto themselves and put the ass in jackass. No one takes them to task over their bullshit decisions. Wholly unqualified and completely incompetent.
I hope it dosnt happen – more brown envelopes. Will any planner ever be prosecuted for their part in granting permission for developments in Ireland.
One can only assume it is corruption when you see the evidence of developments built in flood zones etc. It is that or pressure from TD’s or Councilors either way one orbthe other should be in jail and should be ashamed to show their face in public.
I think corruption and collusion is common in our councils. We need whistle blowers to stand up.
