Here’s the latest in the RTÉ Investigates series, which digs deep into yet another potential scandal.
In this special, reporter Barry O'Kelly (above) investigates allegations of planning appeals made against residential and industrial developments that are later withdrawn in return for cash payoffs.
RTÉ Investigates follows the journeys of several developers who have come up against these men and found themselves out of time, out of options and out of pocket. Tonight's programme will identify the two men and feature substantial covert video and audio recordings.
Professor Geraint Ellis, Lecturer in Planning, Queens University told RTÉ Investigates: "There's been rumours that these things happen. But to see evidence of this and such high amounts of money is fairly shocking."
In a time of a national housing crisis, an increasing number of developers say they are being held up by highly questionable appeals, which can take up to a year to be heard.
People say they are being held to ransom by mischievous planning objections that claim to be about protecting the environment.
