I agree with both comments regarding the service being provided for councillors, especially when it comes to development plans. One of the most frustrating aspects of An Bord Pleanála process is the lack of decision-making and the trend of kicking things down the road for six months and then another six months. In the context of resourcing that organisation, is there any chance that we could consider imposing a fixed timeframe similar to that which applies in respect of the planning process? I think it is unfair on people who are waiting for decisions and whose cases are being repeatedly kicked down the road for six months at a time.
