I note the comments Senator Boyhan made, which I will bring back to the respective Ministers. Plean-IT is a fully functioning system that integrates case management, GIS mapping and public procurement. It has been in operation for some eight years to date. The project was subject to project governance and management, public procurement and necessary approvals through all phases of development. Progress on the project was publicly reported on an annual basis in the An Bord Pleanála annual reports. The project was completed four years ago in 2021.

An Bord Pleanála continues to be committed to optimising and improving the use of digital channels for service delivery in this ever-changing and fast-growing space. The board is now working towards the provision of an even more user-friendly and easily accessible service that meets customers expectations. I will take the Senator's comments back to the respective Ministers.
