Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Indeed. We are filling those roles now. There are now 15 board members and 314 posts have been approved in the board. We were as low as five members last year with all the controversies that came about in An Bord Pleanála. We had to stabilise it and get it moving. I will happily work with the Deputy and colleagues in the Opposition to strengthen this further if that is required. There are two existing Acts, which I have referred to, where prosecutions can be brought on for these types of cases.
