I have a question on section 202 of the Planning and Development Act regarding what it states about special areas of amenity. It states that they can be defined in terms of for beauty or recreation. Am I to take from what the Minister of State said that this is no longer the case? Is there a change regarding special areas of amenity and their recreational use? One can talk about conflicts, whereas up until now you could have a special area of amenity because of the beauty of the area or because of recreation. Is there a move away from that in this legislation?
