Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We are doing quite a deal of internal training, because obviously there is a huge amount of expertise within An Bord Pleanála, among our inspectors and among the existing members such as Mr. McGarry. Our external legal firms are organising for us, in effect, a bespoke version of a course which is available externally. It is run from September to the spring, so we have obviously missed that timeframe, so they are going to organise it as a bespoke offering for six weeks over May and into June. That will be around the law and the decision-making process etc. Then, we will constantly reinforce the capacity of the board members around planning matters. There is a good mix of skills. A number of planners are part of those interim boards, but a number of them are ordinary, decent civil servants like myself, so we are going to have to try to upskill.
