The board can put in the structures for the administrative working through of minor appeals but they all must go to the board for decision. Legally that is what they have to do and they structure that. They do that already with some smaller cases working through the backlog but it does have to go to the board for decision legally. It cannot be hived off. I understand the point made by the Cathaoirleach.
