It is not possible in the time allowed to provide a comprehensive response to the question, as clarified by the Deputy, to include policy instructions or policy documents issued to An Bord Pleanala across all Divisions and functions of my Department, and not solely limited to planning functions. My Department will compile a comprehensive list of such policy instructions or policy documents that have been brought to the attention of the Board since June 2020 to the present and will forward it to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

It is also worth noting that arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas from those agencies. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost effective system to address queries directly. The contact email address for An Bord Pleanála in this regard is oireachtasqueries@pleanala.ie.
