Minister said he informed the Taoiseach of his decision following questions raised about a planning application from 14 years ago
He thanked the people of Meath West for their “ongoing support” as their TD and said he will “continue to serve them and work hard on their behalf in the constituency”.
Damien English did not disclose that he already owned the Castlemartin property in a planning application to Meath County Council for a one-off rural home in 2008. Mr English and his wife Laura later successfully applied for planning permission to build a bungalow in the rural Cookstown area outside Kells in 2008.
A MCC Planning Report from October 8th, 2008 on Mr English’s application says Mr English did not own a dwelling. The MCC planning report says that according to the local needs form submitted with the application “the applicant currently resides in the family home at Castlemartin and has done so for the past 30 years.”
