This library is intended to act as a point of public access to planning policy guidelines, directives, circulars and research. It is the OPR’s intention that this online facility will serve as a resource for those interested in the subject matter of planning. The library is not exhaustive and the OPR would welcome suggestions in relation to relevant material which could be included within the collection. Please forward any suggestions to info@opr.ie
