Mr. Kevin Kelly:

The need for additional resources were estimated at that time and did not take any account of this. It is fundamental to the operation of the planning system, in terms of the timelines we have talked about and so forth, to have the people there in order to deliver the service we need to deliver. We have had good engagement from the Department on this to date. We are looking forward to making a start on that. It will take time. Even in terms of the actual resources out there, they are limited and so forth. Therefore, we will have to look imaginatively at how we will do that over a period of time. We will be looking for the transition arrangements in the context of the Bill to take account of what can be done at any particular point in time. The last thing we need is a Bill that is brought in and then falls because of poor implementation.
