Decisions 5
Invalidations: 1. Most invalidations are notice errors (articles 17–19, 2001 Regulations), and a fresh application restarts the clock. The median time from receipt to decision this week was 53 days; the 2000 Act's s.34(8) default is eight weeks unless further information intervenes. Anyone who made an observation, and the applicant, has four weeks from the decision date to appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
