Yes, potentially. They would have to be screened first. There are many different seismic surveys. I cannot say exactly what is the process for each of them. I cannot give the Deputy a carte blancheanswer that would cover every single one. I am outlining clearly the process through which the application would have to go. The surveys would have to be screened. If they require an EIA, the applications would have to go to An Bord Pleanála. If they do not, the process would be licensing through MARA. I cannot go into the micro detail of each individual application because I do not have that information. I hope the Deputy appreciates that.
