Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

9:00 am

Mr. Dave Walsh:

The main protection is that the deputy chairperson and I, as deputy chairperson, are the ones to assign the timetable. A quorum of three is required for most board meetings. The idea is that we do not want to have the same people going into the meetings all the time - people who share the same views or the same skill set. We always vary the timelines in terms of who people deal with. We are a collective board of ten and while we meet en blocfor large applications, for the sake of efficiency we generally have three-person meetings. We could have three meetings going on at the same time. In 2018, we had 940 meetings of the board.
