Planning system reform

Summary

The Taoiseach says the Government is increasing resources for An Bord Pleanála and that the forthcoming planning Bill will overhaul and update the planning system.

Simon Harris The Taoiseach Fine Gael

Deputy Ó Cuív asked about An Bord Pleanála. As he rightly said, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has been working hard in this area to increase the resources into the board. I know he will want to do more in that space and I will support him in that regard. I also think the planning Bill, which we need to pass before the summer recess, is a major piece of landmark legislation to update and overhaul our entire planning system.
