\nReceived today:<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. McGarr<\/p>\n

I write to you and your co-signatories further to Mr. X’s letter to you dated the 24th November 2005. <\/p>\n

I wish to advise that pursuant to Part 9 of S.I. No. 600 of 2001, Local Government (Planning and Development) Regulations 2001<\/a>, the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland following compliance with paragraph 90 sub-article (1) of this Act, considers it appropriate that the proposed Development will be carried out without modification. <\/p>\n

Yours sincerely

Translation: S. 9 of the quoted S.I exempts, amongst other things, court buildings from the Planning and Development Act 2000. Paragraph 90(1) provides for… well it’s short, so I’ll quote it:<\/p>\n

90. (1) A State authority shall, in deciding whether a proposed development is to be carried out, have regard to any submissions or observations made by a planning authority or by any other person or body in accordance with this Part.
\n (2) A State authority may, following compliance with sub-article (1), decide, as it considers appropriate, that the proposed development will be carried out, with or without variations or modifications, or will not be carried out.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So as long as they “have regard”, the OPW believe they don’t actually have to pay any attention to objections , or even to explain how they came to their decision, they seem to believe. <\/p>\n

So now for you. Is all lost? Will the railing kill the living use of one of Gandon’s “Architectural Masterpieces”?
\nI wonder what will happen next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I wish to advise that pursuant to Part 9 of S.I.
