Ireland's Housing Minister increases An Bord Pleanala board members to 17, aiming to address a case backlog.

Ireland's Housing Minister, Darragh O'Brien, has increased An Bord Pleanala's board members from 14 to 17 as a temporary measure to address a backlog of cases. The decision follows allegations of conflicts of interest and a report warning of a "critical state" for the planning authority. Eight new full-term ordinary board members have been appointed, and the government aims to clear the backlog in the short to medium term.
