Is it not the case that, earlier in the process, everybody, whether a resident or an applicant, has the right to ask for a judicial review of the competent authority's decision or An Bord Pleanála's decision? Why are we adding another layer? This stage only kicks in where the process and the decision have been in place and all the timelags for normal appeals have departed, including in regard to access to the courts. If they have blatantly ignored that and been issued with an enforcement order, we are allowing them to come in again and to go to the courts. I do not like it.
