The allocation to An Bord Pleanála in the Estimates is €14 million. In the context of the discussions during the sittings of the Committee on Housing and Homelessness, I know the Minister is considering - in the context of his action plan - the lengthy delays in the decisions of An Bord Pleanála. What portion of the €14 million is for staff costs? Is consideration being given in terms of next years Estimates to expanding the staff numbers to try to shorten the waiting times?

I know Met Éireann is the burning topic for the committee, but I am under the working assumption that this is one of the functions that will move from the Department.
