A report into the conflict of interest concerns into An Bord Pleanala has been referred to Director of Public Prosecutions, An Garda Síochana and the Standards in Public Office.
Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien confirmed the referral today and said he has asked the DPP for advice on making the report public. A further report from the senior management team at ABP is still expected.
A number of actions are set to be undertaken by the Minister. They include an independent review of ABP, the creation of 24 more roles within the organisation and the complete overhaul of the appointment process for the planning body.
