Ms Oonagh Buckley:
The Deputy asked whether we have any timelines on how long it was between initiation and withdrawal. I am advised that withdrawals are usually at a relatively early stage in the process but I can try to get some details on timelines. Slightly reverting back to my proper day job, as it were, in the Department of Justice, I was involved in helping establish the planning and environmental law court. The intention behind that is to try to make sure these cases are processed more quickly in the courts to reduce those delays.
