The purpose of this section is it places an obligation on planning authorities to develop a strategy for conservation and it lists a range of issues that would be included. I want to have those SACs included in the consideration for that strategy. That is the first part of the amendment. The second part is that there would be no harm in developing that strategy to look beyond the current designation to see whether other areas, for example, might be useful to consider seeking the future designation of or to include those in the strategy as well. However, as the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, said, the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan will come back to us.
