Mr. Murphy used the word “planning”. We should be careful using that word because people get confused. The planning process itself can be quite quick. It only takes a couple of months to put in an application for planning permission and for it to go through. People get confused between the two. Is it a case of a lack of will or an inability to deliver? Is there a lack of ability to draw together groups, including local authorities and large-scale utility providers and State providers? What is the problem? It is definitely not just the planning process.
