It is primarily the waste licences. The EPA has to license a facility in terms of planning permission. I ask Ms Burke to send us a note on that because I used get confused as to whether the applicant can apply for the licence or the planning permission first. Some use it one way and others use it another way. Ms Burke might send us a note on the current position on those licensed facilities because it has often caused confusion. If the applicant got the licence and went into the local authority, the local authority would grant planning because the facility was licensed. We just want to know the current position.
