Further proof that I occasionally read newspapers. The good folk of the DoEHLG were in with an Oireachtas Cttee telling them .. well more bad news, with the publication of the National Spatial Strategy Update and Outlook Report (which doesn't seem to be available online?!).
Certain bodies have been ignoring the spatial strategy. http://tinyurl.com/3xzlzpf Never mind Fianna Fail decentralisation (locate government departments in FF constituency policy) or rural housing guidelines instigated under then minister for Environment, Dick Roche. The report also highlights depopulation of urban areas (ie central Cork or Limerick). So all in all, we have a good policy framework (whatever Skeehan says), there is a system out there with no interest in doing things properly. So step to recovery #1 - do what the plans say they're going to do in the fancy introduction...
