61 Ms F. Fitzgerald asked the Minister for the Environment if he will reduce the fee payable by An Taisce and residents' associations to An Bord Pleanála in respect of appeals against a decision of a planning authority.
The fees payable to An Bord Pleanála, including the lower fee which applies to appeals by An Taisce and certain other bodies, are a necessary and reasonable contribution towards the operating costs of the appeals process and I have no proposals to reduce them.
