I will withdraw the amendment because I want to reword it. It is not simply with judicial reviews. The core issue is partly with An Bord Pleanála. A proposed development may get planning permission from An Bord Pleanála and get built. A very similar proposal may be challenged in a judicial review and be rightly overturned as not being compliant with the laws. There is an issue of inequity here. I was trying to deal with the question of precedent. I will look to find other ways to address that point.
