## Resource

A Sligo developer sentenced to two years for violently assaulting three teens finds his fate eerily tied to a planning decision that could boost his land’s value—just days after the assault. Minister Cummins overruled the Planning Regulator’s green-belt recommendation for the Ballysadare site, citing planning merits alone, despite never knowing the land’s owner. Meanwhile, O’Connor’s business empire and a former TD lobbying for his company add layers of controversy, as officials deny any direct contact with the lobbyist—yet the land’s zoning decision now looms as a potential windfall.
