Regarding Mr. Mandal's letter accompanying his submission, in the second-last paragraph, two points jumped off the page. Mr. Mandal said they are concerned about the roles of both the Office of the Planning Regulator, OPR, and An Bord Pleanála as independent entities. They are also concerned about mission creep in the OPR. Will Mr. Mandal explain that to the committee?
