Mr. Paul Hogan:

There are things at which we are looking. As I mentioned, there is clearly more work to be done on the timelines for the development plan process. We are considering the eight weeks that applies to all local authority consents. There is certainly a consideration of allowing a longer timeframe for more complex decisions at local authority level. We would think decisions that require an environmental impact assessment, EIA, for example, could perhaps be considered over a longer period , which is broadly in line with the principles that are being applied to An Bord Pleanála around decision-making.
