I thank Deputy Clare Daly for explaining what she meant. It was somewhat difficult to imagine the circumstances she was describing. I am not accepting these amendments because I do not want to tell the noise regulator when or in what circumstances measures to be imposed by virtue of regulatory decision should come into effect. It will be a matter for the noise regulator to determine at its discretion and to detail its reasoning and its decision in a report. One should remember the regulator can enforce compliance and bring court proceedings against anyone, including the DAA.
