I propose to take Questions Nos. 475 and 476 together.

At the end of June 2009, An Bord Pleanála had 1,844 cases on hand, a decrease of 36% compared to 2,875 for the same period in 2008. The specific information sought in relation to 2009 is set out in the following table.

Information in relation to the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
