Wayleave is a right to access. Under law, there are public assets, that is, things that the public owns and there are private assets, that is, things that private property holders own. In the Department's deliberations to date, is there anything in Irish or European law that suggests that this is confused and that we do not already have clear legal definitions of what is public and private? If that is the case, I ask Ms Graham to share it with us.
