Fail To Plan

(From left: Jan O’Sullivan, Phil Hogan and Eamon Gilmore)
Ossian Smyth writes:
Last year you asked why Phil Hogan used his powers to stop 5 separate planning inquiries.
Labour’s Jan O’Sullivan, his junior minister for planning came out to defend the decision at the time, citing “the very considerable cost of retaining consultants to conduct these inquiries required some further examination” and wanting “to ensure that the response to the complaints raised was proportionate.”
So what followed last year was an internal inquiry that found no evidence of corruption or wrongdoing and was broadly panned as a whitewash.
A High Court action resulted last week in the government paying out €25,000 compensation to a sacked planner who had been a whistleblower on corrupt practices in Donegal County Council.
Jan has changed her mind and decided to hold those planning inquiries after all.Better late than never.

Body & Soul Festival @ Ballinlough Castle, Co. Westmeath (Friday 21 – Sunday 23)
Nialler9 writes:
It’s easy to forget Body & Soul started as an area at Electric Picnic. It has expanded into its own niche Summer festival with a great atmosphere over the last four years taking place in the walled garden and woodland surroundings of Ballinlough Castle. This year’s lineup features bigger names than ever like Nick Cave, James Murphy, Solange Knowles and PiL amongst the soul, reggae and electronic acts like Charles Bradley, The Congos, Fuck Buttons, Nicolas Jaar, Kate Boy (my tip), Mmoths, Candice Gordon, Jon Hopkins, Pantha Du Prince and Michael Mayer.
