Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

Mr. Dave Walsh:

No. For once, I have a table that answers the Deputy's question exactly. We did a breakdown for the first six months of the operation of the SHD. We calculated the amount of time taken by staff and local authorities, which get a portion of the fees.

For the first 18 months of the operation, we received €2.416 million in fees under strategic housing developments. There was a refund of just over €1.09 million of those fees. Where we were able to process the fees in advance, we gave a refund of money that was not spent. That pretty much left €1.325 million as the estimated costs of what we spent. It is full cost recovery, just the same as strategic infrastructure.
