I thank the Minister. As there are no members indicating, I will ask a few questions myself to clarify matters. Do the regulations relate to Dublin and Rosslare ports only? Who determines if an EIA or AA is required, and what is the process in that regard? Do the powers in the draft regulations relate only to the OPW? There are other ports around the country, some of which are controlled by local authorities. I am not too sure which ones. They also deal with imports and exports. Is it the case that the powers outlined in the draft regulations will not be given to them and are purely for the two ports mentioned here today and confined to the OPW?
