It is important to ensure the process is not upset or corrupted because of the fact, as we have been told publicly, anonymous objections are getting through not just the local authority but An Bord Pleanála whereby somebody is objecting in somebody else's name and paying the fees involved but the person does not exist. What is startling is the fact that the chairman of the board said there is more than one case of that. We know of one case, which has not been answered. I ask specifically about that. We might write to the board to ask it what it will do to ensure the integrity of the process and that such corruption of it, which can have a massive impact on certain locations, can never happen.
