We have not been given any figures on cases going from the High Court to the Court of Appeal and to the Supreme Court. Can we get details of those at some stage? I know Ms Buckley will probably not be able to give them to us today.

The other thing I wanted to touch on was the cases withdrawn. A total of 54 cases that were initiated and then subsequently withdrawn. Is there a problem where planning is being delayed because there is an application for judicial review, it is dragged on within the court system and, as a result, there is a delay in the final outcome of the planning application? If, for instance, An Bord Pleanála granted planning, the case goes for judicial review and then we find 12 months or two years later the judicial review application is withdrawn. There were 54 cases withdrawn. I am just wondering about the timeframe from when a case is lodged in the High Court to the time it is withdrawn. What is the timeline? If that occurs, it means the planning process has been delayed for a year, two years or maybe even three or four years.
