Public Accounts Committee

2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

9:30 am

Mr. Dave Walsh:

In short, no. The board's role is finished when we make our decision. It then is a matter for the local authority where the development is situated in relation to applications for any commencement notices or indeed construction phases. Therefore, the board does not have any role in the context of trying to assess how many of those move on to site or are completed.
