Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If we are talking about the same tax, the liability has been deferred by a year because we appreciate some changes have to be made to it as some anomalies have arisen that were not anticipated. We have given An Bord Pleanála a lot more work to do and there is a lot more building going on in the country. That is great but it means there is even more work for it to do from the private sector as well. Recognising that, it has been provided with lots of additional resources. There is now 15 board members. They can meet in formations of five and have several meetings a day in some cases. There are 300 to 400 posts approved in total. I appreciate they have been given a lot of work to do and it is important they are resourced properly. We are supporting them in that.
