Yes. Senator O'Mahony asked about the throughput. According to the DAA, if everything went wrong and the planning restrictions were as they are now, it would halve the throughput of night-time traffic, that is, traffic between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. That is very serious and would not be acceptable. We do not know if the new noise regulator will come up with a similar solution but the DAA is very concerned at the moment.
