Mr. Dave Walsh:

Yes, the Deputy is correct. I think that is the case when anything new is brought in. When strategic infrastructure was introduced in 2007 to allow for large-scale applications directly to the board, there was a significant increase in the number of challenges being taken on wind farms and major industrial developments. Part of that is because it is new legislation that sometimes needs to be tested in the courts and people also feel that this is the way in which they can challenge decisions. Certainly, in the context of pre-SHD, a lot more of the cases were spread around the different types of planning appeals, from the larger-scale industrial ones to those on a smaller scale. SHD certainly accounts for a significant number.
