290. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the average processing time for planning applications submitted to Roscommon County Council and Galway County Council during 2026, in tabular form. [52481/26]

The information sought is not held by my Department. Under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, as Minister I may not exercise any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority or the Commission is or may be concerned. Consideration of individual planning cases is a matter for the relevant planning authority and is a matter in which I as Minister have no statutory function.

The information may be sought directly from Roscommon and Galway County Councils.
