Fine Gael hascalled for the latest report published by the planning tribunal to be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions "so that he can take the matter to its conclusion".
The third interim report concluded that former assistant Dublin city and county manager, George Redmond (79), received corrupt payments in the 1980s and that he and others had hindered the work of the tribunal.
Fine Gael's spokesman on environment and local government Mr Bernard Allen said the report should "send out a strong signal that noting less than full co-operation with the tribunal is acceptable."
"Despite the costs and length of time the work of the tribunal takes, the report as with previous reports, shows that the tribunal, as a forum for excavating the truth, can deliver," he added.
Labour's spokesman on environment Mr Eamon Gilmore said "slowly and systematically" a "web of corruption and deceit that surrounded aspects of planning in the Dublin area" was being exposed.
"Corrupt payments in regard to planning matters is not a victimless crime.
"Residents in many parts of Dublin are still suffering from the impact of bad planning decisions that we now know were - in some cases - made on the basis of corrupt payments.
"If confidence in the planning system is to be restored, it is essential that those who were involved in corrupt payments are brought to justice and dealt with by the courts.
"To obstruct or hinder a tribunal of Inquiry is a criminal offence and many members of the public will regard it as disappointing that no prosecutions have resulted from the findings of the tribunal in this area," he added.
Progressive Democrats environment spokesman, Senator John Dardis, described the findings of the report "clear and concise".
"Those found by the Report to have made and received corrupt payments and to have obstructed the work of the Tribunal must be subject to the full rigour of the law," Mr Dardis said.
The Green Party also welcomed the publication of the report and called for prosecutions to follow.
Party leader Mr Trevor Sargent said: "Twenty years ago £25,000 would have paid for a house. This was the scale of the payments that were being made on an ongoing basis.
"We are calling for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Martin Cullen, to bring forward proposals to better regulate the activities of senior officials in Local Authorities."
