Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

The question I did not get to with regard to timelines was on planning consent. We listened to some of the previous debates with the Office of the Planning Regulator and the chair of the board. I absolutely agree that the timeline of 18 weeks as a date for complicated cases is not enough for the board. Simple cases should be capable of being decided within 18 weeks. In our view there should be 100% certainty that this target can be met and not 70% certainty as was spoken about. More complicated cases are that. They are more complicated and the timelines should allow for a pause button for further information to be provided to the board. Perhaps there should be a longer period for strategic infrastructure in particular.
