I refer to the significant increase in the number of judicial reviews in the years 2020 to 2022, inclusive, and to the judicial reviews that were upheld by the courts. We cannot comment on any of those decisions. What went wrong in the architecture and legislation that the Oireachtas passed prior to that period? Are there learnings we would benefit from in order to ensure that we do not make those mistakes again and introduce changes to try to make the planning system more efficient but that would actually make it less efficient, which is what happened in those years?
