I agree with the terms of the Deputy's engagement. I discussed in detail the automatic termination, under which we have put the State in the best possible position to respond to any deviation or change in infrastructure that has received the maximum permission. I am confident in that regard.

Second, An Bord Pleanála can attach conditions to the planning application. As we have seen throughout this process, it is very clear that we want serious players in the market. We want serious engagement that meets all environmental criteria that has the best possible sustainable outcome for our maritime area. I believe through MARA, having control of the MAC process and with respect to planning permission through the board, that those tick that box well.
