Mr. Conor O'Connell:

We gleaned the number from our trawl of the websites that belong to An Bord Pleanála and the High Court. We estimate that there are 98 individual applications that are currently subject, or have been subject, to a strategic housing development or SHD that have been reviews. There are 98 individual applications, totalling 32,073 residential units and 1,837 student apartment units. In terms of SHDs pending applications by An Bord Pleanála, there are 93 individual residential applications totalling 32,744 residential units and 1,469 student apartments. There could be an element of re-applications. This is not an exact science. If one adds in the totality of units in developments of less than 100, a considerable number of housing developments would have gone through the traditional path into the local authority subject to an objection or observation into An Bord Pleanála. That is unquantifiable. I have not seen any figures around that but it is certainly in the thousands.
