Lobbying return by Ibec

Housing
Intended results

Amend Judicial Review Process in planning matters, including to 1) manage cost, 2) promote decisions being amended instead of totally quashing them, and 3) improving the speed of decisions in Judicial Reviews

Derived link · Matched by name with added legal form

Published name "Ibec" has no legal form. "IBEC COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE" (CRO 8706) is the only CRO company with that name plus any legal form (Limited, DAC, UC, CLG, PLC or Teoranta). Confirm against the CRO record before relying on it.
