Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 December 2020
267. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of planning applications received by each local authority in each of the past three years; the number of staff employed in each local authority to deal specifically with planning applications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42897/20]
View answerPlanning statistics are compiled by each planning authority on an annual basis for collation and publication on my Department’s website, at the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/planning/statistics/planning-statistics-1.
The data collected includes the number of planning applications received by each local authority in each of the past three years. However, the data collected does not relate to the number of staff employed in each local authority to deal specifically with planning applications. Such information may be sought directly from the relevant planning authority.
