Mr. John O'Connor:

No. The inspectors accept it. That is the law. The decision is made by the board.

I do not know whether we should be discussing this sort of detail about An Bord Pleanála but I will try to answer the question anyway. The law gives the board power to make the decision and the inspector has an input into that decision. If legislation was changed to give power to inspectors to make these decisions that may be what the Deputy is calling for, but there is a board to make decisions.
