An Coimisiún Pleanála

Also known as ABP and An Bord Pleanála.

An Coimisiún Pleanála hears appeals from planning decisions of local authorities and decides them at arm's length from those authorities. It also considers some local-authority projects with a significant environmental impact, and from 2007 it could determine major strategic infrastructure applications under the Planning and Development Act 2006.

The body was established as An Bord Pleanála on 1 January 1977. Section 3 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act 1976 provided for it, and the establishment-day order of 1976 (S.I. No. 307 of 1976) appointed that date. Following the phased commencement of the Planning and Development Act 2024, it was restructured and renamed An Coimisiún Pleanála in June 2025.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
