Mr. Ronan Columb:

On the judicial review piece, the consequence of the amount of JRs has been that we are much more careful about making our planning applications. It takes much longer to put them together. The amount of effort and paperwork associated with planning applications has ballooned considerably over the last number of years. We are putting our applications through legal review to minimise the chance of there being an error or grounds for a JR. It creates a fear of risk in our development community. We invest very heavily. A planning application for a few hundred houses could cost €1 million and take two years to put together. All of that could go up in smoke if there is a judicial review and the planning is overturned. Investors, who we as an industry rely on, are in fear of that process as well. It casts a cold shadow over the industry. That is the key concern with it. As Mr. Garvey said, where it is now being targeted more at infrastructure than in housing, it is an even greater societal risk. Our general view is that we have to ask sometimes where the common good lies. That is how we should measure our response to these things.
