Tipperary councillors have passed a motion requesting the council to write to Housing Minister James Browne, seeking a reduction in the duration of the current exemption allowing temporary change of use to building structures for international protection seekers.
"The planning system is no longer predictable or transparent,"
said Cllr Liam Browne, who tabled the motion at the Tipperary County Council's monthly meeting in October. The motion proposes changing the exemption duration from 31 December 2028 to 31 December 2025.
A similar motion was also passed by Laois County Council earlier this month.
