This is what the Taoiseach and a chorus of supporters inside and outside Government mean when they talk about 'removing red tape' and 'unblocking the planning system'.
The State, uniquely, is in a position to react differently. Instead of making better decisions, they just decide they'll make it too hard to sue them, and then they carry on breaking the law exactly the way they were beforehand.

Always nice to see our work picked up and amplified by other, bigger media. These survey results have been on RTÉ radio, Newstalk, FM104, and others are planning to cover it too.
There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/
