I support the calls for an urgent debate this week on An Bord Pleanála. There has been a drip feed of allegations and very serious matters have been raised about conduct, processes and governance. It is timely that we would have that debate this week. We are all conscious that there is only a small number of weeks left before the recess. We have the summer economic statement to come and there are quite a number of other urgent matters before us.

This week would seem the right time and the appropriate time to have the debate on An Bord Pleanála, given the serious nature of the allegations that have been raised.
