That might make sense for the €200 fee in regard to An Bord Pleanála. That could be more complex. A €50 fee just to make an observation and for someone to effectively have his or her say in that process, when there is already an appeal going on and the complexities are already being looked at, is where it stands out to the €200 fee. Obviously, there is a higher fee for oral hearings. Of course, most of these appeals or oral hearings are not granted. I will leave it there. If the Minister of State wishes to respond, that is fine.
