Re: Re: Garry Miley, one-off house campaigner

While i agree that one-off houses are not in general a sustainable form of development, it is not necessarily the call of RTE, Garry Miley or indeed the family who built the house to make this call. Whatever our opinion of their competencies, unfortunately it is the responsibility of the local planning authority to decide on whether a development is appropriate. I’m not sure if RTE should be making judgement calls like this- what if they stopped covering stem cell research because of a particular agenda, or houses with flat roofs, etc. etc. There are people in society who are (supposedly) qualified to make those decision for us, and they sure ain’t our broadcasters…
