Mr. Peter Walsh:

We would like to be able to progress projects unimpeded. That is my view on it. Part of the frustration that I have is that I believe we have extremely good and transparent procedures for the development of projects through seven phases. We engage in public consultation on several occasions during that process. I do not think anything is hidden. Our experience of the assessments at different decision or approval gates has been that not one project has been varied, amended or altered but it takes at least six months to get through. It is hard to see where the value is in it. I appreciate that we should not be off doing things without scrutiny.
