Madam, - I think most people (other than developers and politicians) would agree with Ciaran Cuffe TD that "the legacy of corrupt rezoning has left people without trust in the planning process". The proposals of the Green Party for an independent planning agency should be welcomed by all.
Not surprisingly, however, there has been a deafening silence from the other parties. While one would hardly have expected Fianna Fáil to join a chorus for reform, silence from the ever-virtuous Mary Harney and the ever-voluble Messrs McDowell and Rabbitte is disappointing. - Yours, etc,
FRAN O'KEEFFE, Ballyweelin, Rosses Point, Sligo.
