Moving forward, Ms Buckley said that An Bord Pleanála hopes to deal with all the delays as quickly as possible. I welcome the fact that new board members are being appointed. More broadly however, there will be a need for additional staff. Ms Buckley touched on that. How many new staff have been taken on over the past 12 months? How many staff does Ms Buckley believe the board actually needs in order to meet the demand?
