I want to come back to Mr. Doyle. I just searched for the email. That planning appeal was on 18 September 2022. One person in An Bord Pleanála answered me five times with the same thing. The length of time people expect is 18 weeks. That is what is in the statute. How can Mr. Doyle explain a 13-month delay in the decision-making process? What role does he have to play in this?

I want to know how that is justifiable. How can the Secretary General sit there and tell me that regardless of resources that this is not an issue?
