Mr. Donal Maguire:
An EIS has to be assessed in the context of its environment. If it concerns an application pertaining to an area designated under Natura 2000, it could take quite a long time. Otherwise, an EIS could be assessed very quickly, that is, in a matter of weeks. EISs for priority projects such as water treatment units may be assessed in less than a month. They are very small documents.
