Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
I do not know the specifics of the case the Deputy is talking about. At the moment, we have no backlog in felling licences and I do not believe we have a backlog in roads licences, so we are issuing those. We have to provide certainty to people when they apply for a licence that within a defined period, they will have a licence.
