- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2017 Order: Motion (27 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: Can the Minister of State give us any updated information on the number of applications received by the board under the new strategic housing development legislation? At what stage are they applications?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2017 Order: Motion (27 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: That last point is important. In an effort to fast-track the larger developments, we do not want small builders who build 20, 40 or 80 units to experience much longer delays. If there was a way to track and monitor that, it would be useful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2017 Order: Motion (27 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: During the consideration of the legislation we got a very useful spreadsheet with the 18 developments that were being assessed at that stage. It would be helpful if we got a similar spreadsheet, even on a six-monthly basis, of the kind of information the Minister of State has shown but presented as a flow chart. The smaller number of applications that got through the pre-application process...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2017 Order: Motion (27 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: Yes. Some of us did not support the legislation and our argument was because the two areas that were taking the longest were the pre-planning and the request for information periods. If we saw similar timelines for this, it would give us a sense of whether it is working the way the Minister of State hoped, or not.
