A subject in which I am particularly interested is An Bord Pleanála and its role in relation to planning. I have requested a debate on this matter on many occasions. There is a suggestion that Part V of the planning legislation is to be reviewed in respect of its provisions on social and affordable housing in terms of the role of An Bord Pleanála. There seems to be conflict regarding the transparency of An Bord Pleanála in respect of a number of applications for planning permission that have been referred to it. The Minister for the Environment and Local Government should come before the House to make a statement so that Members can discuss this matter which is causing great confusion among members of the public.
