Ms Jane Doyle:

It very much depends on the complexity of the case, given we are talking about strategic infrastructure development and large-scale residential development with an environmental impact assessment and a Natura impact statement. The minimum time in the Bill at the moment is around the 18 weeks. For some of these larger projects, 18 weeks is probably not achievable and, in those instances, what happens is that we get letters from the board to say it cannot achieve the deadline but there is no new date.
