I thank the Minister. I wish to clarify that there is an extant planning permission dating from before EU Regulation 598/2014 came in, which, if and when it were implemented, without this EU regulation, would mean that there would be significant restrictions in the operation of aircraft before 7 a.m. or after midnight. That was a decision of An Bord Pleanála. In summary the Minister is saying that has now been superseded by this regulation. If the legislation passes, it will go through the planning process in Fingal County Council. An Bord Pleanála would be the appeal party in that context. Does that create a problem?
