That is why we need more accountability and for this to come under the auspices of the Comptroller and Auditor General. Mr. Doyle could go on for the next two minutes but nothing happened and the public will make up their own minds about that. I will move on to planning. What is happening with An Bord Pleanála and planning is...

(26 Oct 2023) Verona Murphy: To be fair, that does not warrant a clap on the back because what happened the year before was unprecedented and no decisions were being made. How long should it take to decide on a one-off housing appeal?

They have applied for planning permission and expected to have no issue. They probably will not have an issue but are now homeless while waiting for a decision from An Bord Pleanála.

That planning appeal was on 18 September 2022. One person in An Bord Pleanála answered me five times with the same thing. The length of time people expect is 18 weeks. That is what is in the statute. How can Mr. Doyle explain a 13-month delay in the decision-making process? What role does he have to play in this? I...

Would it not be a better policy, Mr. Doyle, to divert 40 staff from a regulatory post in respect of which next year we will clearly discuss nothing but the legal fees the regulator has entailed into An Bord Pleanála? We are in the worst crisis ever. I am quoting from a newspaper article in the Irish Independentin which Mr. Ian...
