Planning body An Bord Pleanála continues to struggle with a backlog of cases, with just under 1,100 decisions outstanding for more than four months.

The body has been struggling with the backlog since being subject to a series of controversies in 2022, scandals which led directly to the depletion of its board membership to such an extent planning decisions could no longer be made.
