Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

In the first instance, we have reinstated the two-stage process that replaces the SHD process. Decisions are now being made by local authorities and are then going on to An Bord Pleanála. A comprehensive review of An Bord Pleanála is under way. A draft report has been issued. The Office of the Planning Regulator, with access to external expertise, is looking into the operational duties of the board. There has also been a strong increase of 25% in the capital funding going into An Bord Pleanála to ensure that it can deliver the €165 billion worth of public infrastructure needed to transform communities throughout the country.
