Surprise at the number of comments criticising enforcement of the planning laws

I published a video yesterday about Dublin City Council prosecuting a family who had carried out an unauthorised development (an attic conversion) on a home in Phibsboro.

I am surprised about the number of comments criticising the planning authority and their decision to enforce the planning laws.

I do accept, however, that there may be a silent, non-commenting majority who are satisfied that a) we need planning laws and b) they should be enforced without fear or favour.

It seems that a person with a chip on their shoulder can find opportunities everywhere to take out the sense of grievance and give it a good airing.

Anyway, here is the video. Check out the comments.
