No. The regulations themselves that stand up the Bill and its operation will be very important too. They do allow the flexibility to amend them into the future if there is a wish. I will come back to the Deputy prior to Report Stage. I am just saying as it stands today, I am not in a position to accept these as they are now. There are potential risks with their being that prescriptive as to other things that one would leave out. Do we leave areas that are grey areas for potential judicial reviews? This is the overall planning Bill for all of planning and not just for the Gaeltacht. Someone else might ask why have we not prescribed or asked for another definition to be included in the Bill for some other matter. I value to importance of trying to protect and grow our Gaeltacht areas and support Irish language speakers, and I will continue to do that, but as the amendments are written, I am not accepting them today. I will come back to the Deputy in advance of Report Stage and we will look at them by way of the regulations. The Deputy can move them if he wants. That is fine.
