Cirque du Planning Act
We speak to Brendan Slattery (www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-slattery-439a0513/) of McCann FitzGerald LLP (www.linkedin.com/company/mccann-fitzgerald/) about the new Planning & Development Act.
Brendan is a partner at McCann in the Environmental and Planning law division. He does an incredible job of breaking down the new law and what its likely effects are. There are a lot of surprises, and not the good kind. I throughly enjoyed the chat with him and would urge anyone who needs advice on the subject to give him a call, as his knowledge on the subject is as in-depth as I've ever come across, and his experience is very broad.
Some more details:
