Ms Lisa Rocca:

Yes and they are dealing with that with the new process that is coming in. In general, if something goes to An Bord Pleanála, which it often will, the timelines are long and we have applications with An Bord Pleanála for up to 18 months, for example. The planning reform Bill should have prescriptive timelines and perhaps more resources should be provided to An Bord Pleanála. It is an excellent institution and it is doing a great job but it definitely needs more resources.
