Question:105 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for the Environment the percentage of total planning applications appealed to An Bord Pleanála from each local authority for each of the years from 1990 to 1994. [6813/95]
Planning statistics compiled by my Department on the basis of returns from local authorities are published in respect of each year. "Planning Statistics 1993" is the most recently available and copies are in the Oireachtas Library.
Details of appeals made as a percentage of planning decisions — by area — are set out in these publications.
