This week on #BreakingGround host Carol Tallon chats to Sean O’Leary, Senior Planner with the Irish Planning Institute. 

Sean gave us an overview of planning in Ireland right now and an update on the panning reform proposed. We discuss the reputational challenges of the sector, in light of recent controversy, and ways to make a career in planning more attractive to the next generation of talent. 

Also, read Seans recent opinion piece on ‘Go Away Money’ in the Irish Independent: https://m.independent.ie/opinion/letters/letters-normalising-go-away-money-creates-whiff-of-sulphur-around-what-should-be-open-process/a1976090724.html
