They will have to notify the Minister. That is what I was referring to with regard to the provision on the next page, which states:

A failure by the Commission, in making a decision under section 121 in relation to an application, to comply with a time period specified ... shall not invalidate the decision. ... Where the Minister considers it necessary or expedient that decisions under [this], in relation to applications of a particular class or classes, be determined as expeditiously as is consistent with objectives of maritime spatial planning and principles of proper planning ... by reason of their being of special strategic, economic or social importance to the State, he or she [shall] give a direction to the Commission to give priority to the making of such decisions, and the Commission shall comply with any such direction.
