There are a few issues. The internal processes within the State are in many instances excessive and are causing delays. There are issues within the planning system and there is also the ability of any objector to delay things indefinitely. Some of the reforms are contained in the Planning and Development Act, which was advanced. However, in the context of the work we are doing, we hope to bring further legal reforms and reforms to the planning system. I am working with the Ministers, Deputies Jim O'Callaghan and James Browne, in respect of both those areas. I share the Senator's frustration. We have looked at international best practice, which will inform the actions we will take in the weeks following the budget.
