Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There was a rush of SHD applications in the back end of 2021 and into 2022 because of an impending change in the legislation. It was just too much for An Bord Pleanála. It was not able to process them in the time that was available, because presumably it was not available. When the fine was thought of, it was not thought of there being an unusual rush of applications at the same time. An Bord Pleanála kind of got caught, and there were obviously other difficulties in the organisation, so it effectively incurred those fines. I would not expect it to continue. We will see when we come to do the 2022 financial statements.
