I do not mean to cut across Deputy Ó Broin but, to be helpful, I will have a further look at amendment No. 58 to see how to incorporate the approach I mentioned in the phrase I used to which the Deputy made reference. In no way, shape or form do we want to allow the LDA to circumvent the planning process. Its applications will go through the normal planning process. If there is something additional I can do to include something of the purpose of amendment No. 58 in an appropriate place on Report Stage, I will do so. I will come back to Deputy Ó Broin in respect of amendment No. 58 but I cannot accept No. 57. It refers to "The content of any such direction" but it may not be appropriate to publish some directions, at least in full. Regulations are obviously published. Other State agencies do not publish the content of ministerial directions. I have carefully considered the amendments. I will look at No. 58 again and revert to the Deputy but I cannot accept either amendment at this stage.
