That is very good. I thank the Chairman.

I have two final questions. Are the numbers that were set out by Ms Nic Niallaigh in respect of the construction accurate? They are quite startling. They were outlined in her presentation earlier in respect of the amount of traffic on site.

Finally, as a consequence of the proximity of the two schools in particular, has a human health impact assessment been undertaken, as is a statutory requirement under EU directives, specifically EU Directive No. 2014/52/EU? I realise we are at an early date in this, but it would seem that if it breaches that directive, this conversation is somewhat nullified and the proposed works cannot go ahead at that site in any event. I would appreciate a response in that regard as well. I thank the Chairman and the witnesses once again.
