Yes, but not the day before. For example, when I sat on South Dublin County Council, a developer would look for pre-planning and the council would be willing to get it done quickly. It would set a date but the documentation would only come in the day before the meeting. That would not allow the relevant officials time to properly examine it. I think it could help. However, I fully support the amendment.
