What is this?
Nimdex is a data-journalism investigation into Ireland's planning system. We've assembled 368,000+ applications across 31 local authorities and sampled 1,000+ submissions for a press-grade editorial database. Each card you saw is a real submission. The quote is verbatim. We don't show submitter names.
Gravity
- 174 judicial reviews filed by FP Logue alone — 26% of all Irish JRs in our window.
- 79% of JRs never reach a written verdict. They settle, withdraw, or get struck out.
- 1,830 objections filed in Wicklow vs 50 supports. A 36-to-1 ratio.
- 363 times Hen Harrier was cited as a reason to refuse a development.
- 15 named individuals filed near-identical letters across two adjacent Kildare housing applications.
- 220 to 0 on a single Wicklow application — one of the most coordinated campaigns we found.
