Dr. Cecil Beamish:

There are some new ones. I do not have the detail on the 600 that have gone by but on the 600 that remain, about 40% are new and 60% are renewals. Many applications would have been varied. I note from January decisions that there were 60 applications in determination, of which ten were varied. That would be higher than normal but there are variations in applications. If one goes through all this process, one gets conditions attached or adjustments to the area applied for and so on.

Deputy Murphy O'Mahony asked a few questions. She mentioned the frustration people have with this system. I would venture that the people who have been trying to deal with this system since 2007 and subsequently are frustrated. Some of my colleagues here are probably among most frustrated in this regard-----
