Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service
2:00 am
Seán Fleming (Laois, Fianna Fail)
Will Ms Denning be able to provide information on the percentage of cases that go through the expedited procedure? If she does not have that to hand, perhaps she might send it on to us.
Further to what she said, I have often heard people say when they are not happy with a development, "Sure, we'll go for a judicial review and it'll take as long as it takes." They feel the other side might give up and not proceed with the development. Ms Denning was mirroring that in what she was saying. Some people are not that interested in progressing the case. They just want their case there possibly to delay or maybe even sometimes to kill off a development. Is that something the Courts Service is conscious of?
