Senator Wilson mentioned private investigators but I have dealt with the matter already. He welcomed the fact the Irish Red Cross will administer the fund in terms of flooding. I agree with Senator Higgins and other Senators that the time limits for decisions by An Bord Pleanála should be reviewed. We debated the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill last week and again yesterday. Unfortunately, on both occasions, I did not hear any Senator raise those points. Those debates provided them with an opportunity to do so. I am sure the matter will be addressed by the Government in terms of an overview of An Bord Pleanála.

Senator Healy Eames mentioned the programme, "RTE Investigates." The matter was dealt with comprehensively on yesterday's Order of Business.
