New Planning Bill further removes local communities and Local Authorities from the planning process.
The Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 proposes to fast track private planning developments by bypassing Local Authorities and going straight to An Bord Pleanála.

Don’t let burglars destroy your Christmas
Install security lighting, which will help make your home more visible to neighbours and passers-by.

Inside your home use a timer switch to turn on lights and other appliances to create the impression that someone is at home.
