An Bord Pleanála delays

Summary

Deputy Ó Cuív asks what more can be done to speed up An Bord Pleanála, noting that only 11% of appeals meet the statutory 18-week objective.

As the Taoiseach knows, housing is the big issue. While I welcome all the steps taken in relation to An Bord Pleanála, I note that only 11% of appeals were decided within the 18-week statutory objective.

Is there anything further we can do collectively, that the Government can do or that anybody can do, to hurry up the board? It is holding up projects around the country for years.
