While I understand what the Minister is saying, what protections has a third party who may be affected? An Bord Pleanála is going to engage with the NRA on whatever project it is. The Minister is saying that An Bord Pleanála will have to record all this and note it carefully. There is a danger that An Bord Pleanála would be accused of interference. We need to be very careful, because by addressing one problem, we might create a further problem. People will see that as interference and collusion between An Bord Pleanála and the NRA. Could the Minister tell us a bit more about the guarantees that are in place?
