I am not aware of delays to construction associated with Part V approvals. My Department keeps the January 2017 Guidelines on Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 under review, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the Irish Homebuilders Association.

My Department will consult further as to whether any process improvements are required in relation to Part V, so that construction can continue as speedily as possible and any possible delays be avoided.
