Mr. David Maguire:

I would like to make a specific point about planning. I think I speak for everyone involved in renewables and all other infrastructure investments in the State when I say that the planning system is very inefficient in terms of its timing and its certainty. In particular, the appeals procedure makes it easy to appeal and hold up developments that are strategically important to the State. I do not think we are just talking about solar here. Serious reform is needed. To be specific, the qualification of appeals being heard needs to be tightened up. In the case of solar, I think there should be an exemption for rooftop developments regardless of whether the building is domestic or commercial.
