Release Information
For Ireland, planning permissions measures the number of construction activities that are granted final permission by the local government. The Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, 1963 to 2000 require that the majority of construction activities obtain planning permission. All local governments then supply every request for planning permission that has been granted.
