Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment
Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Ian Talbot:
Some of it is making sure that the planning Act gets implemented as soon as possible. Some of it is about resources. For example, we have just made a recommendation that we need to put further investment into the courts system. We fully accept the appropriateness of objections being raised as part of our democratic standards, but if the courts could deal with the objections raised more quickly rather than the courts system providing multiple-year delays as one goes to the High Court and Supreme Court, it would be a help.
