Ms Jane Doyle:

An Bord Pleanála representatives who were before the committee last week discussed it.

They said they would be happy to look at it in terms of their accountability to the Oireachtas committee, the Department or the public. At the moment, there is no accountability. That is the problem, and it is not the board’s fault. It is completely under-resourced and understaffed. We completely understand that and we are fully behind it from that point of view. We understand it. However, at the same time, a number of strategic housing developments, SHDs, have all the fines paid back to us and we still do not know if we will get a decision.
