We speak to Brendan Slattery of McCann FitzGerald LLP about the new Planning & Development Act.
Brendan is a partner at McCann in the Environmental and Planning law division. He does an incredible job of breaking down the new law and what its likely effects are. There are a lot of surprises, and not the good kind. I throughly enjoyed the chat with him and would urge anyone who needs advice on the subject to give him a call, as his knowledge on the subject is as in-depth as I've ever come across, and his experience is very broad.

While Brendan has not carried out work for me or my companies directly, we have on occasion in the past worked with his firm McCann Fitzgerald, though never the Environmental and Planning law division.
