Ms Maria Graham:

There were a number of amendments under consideration. I understand there are two amendments to the judicial review process being progressed through the Dáil at the moment. One is leave that the court would decide that all administrative processes have been complete, so that leave to appeal would depend on other factors too. For example, some cases for judicial review before the board may have gone for judicial review during the course, or maybe a couple of times during the course. This provision would be as envisaged in the Aarhus Convention, that the court is used after the local authority and the other appeals' routes have been exhausted.
