Yes. That is grand. A submission, which I think is from the Law Society, refers, in relation to costs, to "The Aarhus Convention and implementing EU Directives require that costs in certain environmental cases must not be prohibitively expensive". Is this term, "prohibitively expensive", defined?
What might be really prohibitively expensive to somebody earning €50,000 per year may differ as opposed to somebody who is earning €500,000 per year. Has "prohibitively expensive" been defined?
