Mr. Pat Farrell:

I concur with what has been said but the point Mr. O'Connell is making is that the capacity that is freed up by an efficiently functioning An Bord Pleanála will unleash significant additional house building activity, which in turn generates approximately 30% additional taxes and levies per home. This should, in turn, create a significant flow of revenue, a portion of which could be ring-fenced to fund or resource An Bord Pleanála to the level it needs to be resourced.
