Recently @wereontheditch has broken a number of stories about Hyde’s cronyism such as failure to declare conflicts of interest when deciding on decisions involving his brother’s company, lands adjacent his father’s & even on his brother’s house!

In many cases Hyde went against the recommendations of ABP’s own planning inspectors.

Just last November Hyde also granted permission for US developer Hines’ 1,614 build-to-rent neighbourhood in Drumcondra against the recommendation of Dublin City Council.
