How does An Bord Pleanála differentiate in the context of what needs to be prioritised? Is it about where they are in a queue? Can Ms Buckley say that, within the organisational structure, she can go in and has the capacity and decision-making ability now to be able to differentiate between the smaller cases, dare I say, nimbyism, versus that of large-scale housing development that is urgently needed? Obviously, we are in the midst of a serious housing crisis and there is a shortage of new units.
