Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (LSRD) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kevin Kelly:

I might ask Mary Conway to speak briefly on the additional 30%.

In terms of resourcing, we can move quite quickly. Local authorities across the country will have panels in place. We are fairly flexible in terms of our approach. We are used to moving resources between forward planning enforcement and development management and then we can use the plethora of grades that are there within the planning function. With additional funding in place, I think we could move quickly to deal with that issue.
