Last week, we had An Coimisiún Pleanála officials in regarding the staffing levels, and the representatives seemed to be quite satisfied with what it has. How does the Courts Service feel? Has it considered the impact on staff and resources following the implementation of the planning Act 2024? There is legislation being rushed through the Dáil tonight on that. My experience of the legal profession is that they love the grey. Black and white is easy to read. There is a worry that how the Planning and Development Act was rushed through the Dáil could result in a tsunami of litigation coming through. How is the Courts Service with staff and resources?
