Part 8 approvals comes before the legal council. I will say in a general way, and not just with regard to housing, we are dealing with local authorities and there are 31 of them in the State. I ask the Department to remember that the 31 chambers are the legal councils. The rest are employees employed by the elected members. It is the same with the chief executive officers. Their terms have to be renewed every seven years.
