  • Summary

  • E84 The Fifth Court

    Hosts Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL are joined in studio by solicitor and Partner at Byrne Wallace, Martin Cooney talking about the law and housing development. He thinks he was always was going to be a lawyer having, at the age of 12, drawn up a contract with his own mother, for payments for chores in the family home!

    He also is in the Army Reserve, something he recommends most highly. He still trains every year, as well as advising many top developers.

    So what in law what is holding up a functional housing market? Discuss. Spoiler alert. It involves planning permission. And kickbacks. And building inspections, at 12%, is very, very low.


    His cultural recommendation. A movie - The Mauritanian (2021)


    Plus three cases from the Decisis.ie website

    • An environmental law case involving the granting of a revised industrial emissions license for a cement plant.
    • A wardship case involving a 96 year old woman and her granddaughter
    • A second wardship case, involving a 'vulnerable' man and a nursing home
