Opposition politicians have called for clear changes in the make-up of An Bord Pleanála, saying that “change starts at the top”.

The Dáíl heard more than three hours' worth of statements from TDs regarding the ongoing issues at the planning authority, which has been at the centre of a storm of controversy since April of this year.
