Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Gavin Lawlor:
It should not be acceptable that 30% of cases do not get decided in a reasonable time. It should also not be acceptable that the board is tested on an 18-week metric for all cases, that one size fits all. Those are two things that are not correct. We are not getting a true sense of how far behind the board is in certain projects.
