Mr. Eamonn Kelly:

Absolutely. We are still waiting on figures from An Bord Pleanála. From what I can see looking back at the period of 2012 and 2013, when the legislation first came through, there were an awful lot of grants. These primarily related to quarries. More recent cases often do not meet the exceptionality condition in the first place. We are aware of a few. I will come back with more detailed figures from An Bord Pleanála. Again, we are building a single-step process, under which an application would fail if An Bord Pleanála did not consider it exceptional. The board would then refuse it on that basis. Historically, I am aware of cases that did not get past the stage of considering their exceptionality. In these cases, the developers do not get as far as lodging a full application for substitute consent in the first place. I do not know if that is an answer.
