I want to ask about the scandals at the top of An Bord Pleanála. The terms of reference of the review have been published and they leave a lot to be desired. They are extremely narrow, dealing with only three particular decisions of the board and only one of the board members, Mr. Paul Hyde. The terms of reference do not include the 2019 case in which Mr. Hyde approved the deeply unpopular co-living development by Bartra in Dún Laoghaire, for which his brother's firm had been employed to produce the fire safety report without declaring a conflict of interest. There are at least five other similar cases not included in the terms of reference, nor do they include the broader conduct of the board. I understand new revelations will emerge in the coming days about the conduct of another member of the board of An Bord Pleanála. The question is whether the Tánaiste agrees that the terms of reference need to be broadened to include the broader conduct of the board.

I responded to a question on this from Deputy Cian O'Callaghan earlier, so I do not want to expand too much on what I said. I want to reiterate that these are serious allegations, and serious allegations should be investigated seriously. People are entitled to due process and fair procedure, and that will happen. It is a matter for the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, to consider whether he thinks it appropriate to extend the scope of the existing investigation or to find another way to have them examined.
