That is County Galway. Galway city is behind and we have engaged with the council. A total of 79 applications were received, of which 58 were approved. I can provide these details to Deputies across local authorities. To answer Deputy Ó Cuív's question, extensions can be granted.

I have not had any case come back to me where a local authority said it would not extend it if it was reasonable to do so. We are not telling them not to.
