A report about alleged serious planning irregularities in Donegal remains unpublished over a year after the government received legal advice on its contents from the attorney-general. About a decade ago Gerard Convie, a former senior planner at Donegal county council, submitted almost two dozen alleged examples of rule breaches at the local authority. The Sunday Times yesterday reported that after multiple delays, a report on his complaints was submitted to the government in June 2017. The attorney-general submitted his legal advice a year later but Eoghan Murphy, the housing minister, has yet to decide whether he will publish it. AdvertisementDarragh O’Brien, Fianna Fáil’s housing spokesman, said that his party would ask Mr Murphy for an update in the interests of transparency.
