That is my point. I do not know when the section was originally inserted into the Planning and Development Act. I presume it was not in the original 2000 Act; it came in at a later stage on foot of EU directives. Our planning system is inherently more complex than it was then. Obviously, we are moving to a stage where there is a greater level of development. Our local authority planning sections have far fewer staff than they had a decade or a decade and a half ago. Notwithstanding the fact that it is an existing provision, it is an existing provision in different circumstances.
