Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tom Flynn:
It may be related to resources as well. Excluding the public reduces the amount of references and there are less demands on planning staff. Section 5 has a resource implementation for the planning staff and the board. When they get a reference, they have to allocate staff to process it. Planners have to look at the matter and it is time consuming. It is similar for the board.
