He thinks the level of responsibility the board holds means it should be subject to greater scrutiny.
Questions about the State's planning body are no great surprise to one midlands TD.
An Bord Pleanála is the subject of recent allegations of conflicts of interest and an investigation by senior counsel Remy Farrell has been sent to the Gardaí, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Standards in Public Office Commission.
The planning body was called before the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee 16 months ago to answer questions over legal fees and conflicts of interest.
Chair of the committee and Laois-Offaly Sinn Féin TD, Brian Stanley says the responsibilities of the board means it requires greater scrutiny:
