    Phil Hogan on a roll!

    Big Phil Hogan is on a roll.

    He has seen off the greedy councillors who sought to increase their pay and conditions. He has laid out plans to shed a lot of expensive councillors. He has concluded a deal with the EU that will secure a sensible regime for policing and rehabilitating the rural septic tanks. He has devised a wide ranging system of exemptions to protect the vulnerable from the local charge. He has brought forward a scheme for reforming political funding. He is dumping the electronic voting machines. He has adopted a sensible approach to climate change.

    He is a good old fashioned rural parish pump politician. He will bring in precisely zip reforms unless forced to do so. He is from the TD cohort who see constituencies as personal fiefdoms in which favours are dished out for votes.

    And he has reversed his decision to shaft the independent review into planning irregularities in 2 city councils and 4 county councils. He believes that the independent reviews into the banking sector have helped to identify and address shortcomings and that the same needs to happen within our planning systems to address the failings in public administration and the political system. God bless this great patriot.

    And if evidence of corruption were uncovered within local authorities, he will ensure that the full rigor of the law will be applied. :

    Why did Minister Phil Hogan drop the independent review into planning irregularities within Dublin and Cork city councils and Carlow, Meath, Galway and Cork county councils ?
