In case I am accused of misleading the committee, let me recategorise my review of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. Its view is not that there is not a problem; rather, it is not its problem. I presume that would be a fair assessment of what it said.
Mr. Nugent said this is essentially the fault of the sector not engaging with the process. He can correct me if I am wrong about any of the information I have. I could well be wrong, because this is a complicated process. The EIA directive was agreed at an EU level in 1992. Is that correct?
