I propose to take Questions Nos. 930 and 931 together.

To date the Strategic Infrastructure Division of An Bord Pleanála has received 30 formal applications for major strategic infrastructure projects under the provisions of the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006, and 18 cases have been disposed of. There are 12 major Strategic Infrastructure cases currently on hand. The specific information sought in relation to 2009 is set out in the following table:

> 6 months> 8 months> 10 months> 12 months
Strategic Infrastructure Cases on hands (as at 19 Oct, 2009):2232

As of 19 October 2009, An Bord Pleanála had 1,506 normal planning cases on hand, a decrease of 45% compared to the same period in 2008. The specific information sought in relation to 2009 is set out in the following table:

> 6 months> 8 months> 10 months> 12 months
Appeals on hands (as at 19 Oct, 2009):177956450
