Mr. Philip Nugent:

I will take the Deputy's second question first requesting an outline of Part X of the Act. It might be useful if we prepared a note because it quite complex legislation. It might be best dealt with through a note giving detail on how the regulations fall underneath it. In terms of the designation of NHAs and SACs, the directive will have no impact on the designation. That is a matter for the NPWS under the habitats directive.
