Specific Details The company I work for, Bennett Property Limited, manages an asset on behalf of a fund they control and own in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, and I was keen to establish the planning history of the asset and local issues by way of engaging with public representatives on this case and, as such, contacted and lobbied Kevin Boxer Moran TD.

Intended results I hoped to secure a more detailed knowledge of the history of the asset and location of the Shannon Retail Centre in Athlone, Co. Westmeath.
