Only Deputy Gould, Senator Boyhan and I are in the room at present. Other members are in the Chamber with the Minister. I will continue on this issue for the moment. Representatives of the Dublin Democratic Planning Alliance appeared before the committee. One of its members who attended was a senior counsel. I asked this question regarding the applicant being a person. Subsection 249(10) of the draft Bill indicates those who can apply for a judicial review can be an applicant or a company. However, the suggestion is, and I do not know whether this is correct, it must be a person and cannot be a group.
