Further information requests on a planning application — 21% of Dublin files, six months to reply21% of applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 drew a further information request. What the council is asking, the six-month deadline, what "significant" FI triggers, and what it does to neighbours' rights.

What a commencement notice is, why it is the signal that a permission is real, the ranking of all 31 electoral areas, and the month-by-month shape.
