I appreciate the Minister of State's acknowledgement of our concerns. However, to me, there are few things more important than clarifying this point. I would also like him to answer some of our other questions on this point, as much as he can do in this meeting. Notwithstanding his generous willingness to consider our concerns, I could not support this amendment or this section in any shape or form until our concerns are clarified. Amendment No. 123 includes the word "sell". I take the point about what the Minister can do and so on. Will the Minister of State clarify what area he is talking about in reference to this amendment? Will he explain what is referred to by "any part of the maritime area that is State-owned"?
