Ms Angela Denning:

An Coimisiún Pleanála was here last week and it told about how it got rid of its backlog. When it gets rid of a backlog, that automatically generates a bit of extra work on our side. There has been a general increase across the board in certain types of cases. We have a number of cases at the moment relating to bus corridors in Dublin. We have an increase in cases this year relating to quarries and communications masts. That is where the increases this year have come from. It is very varied. The courts always reflect what is going on out in the wider world. The work that comes in depends on what is happening outside.
