I thank the Chairman and the Minister of State for the briefing information on this. I will return to the ordinary and everyday. We are on a building drive. There is momentum towards providing additional housing and looking at areas. Bodies like the Land Development Agency are taking over areas that have been perhaps lying there for years. Places of interest are now more likely to be discovered. I heard the Minister of State speaking about the discovery of a new or potential national monument. What is the process there? How does Mary Bloggs know that she has triggered into this situation? I would like the Minister of State to walk us through an understanding of that, please.
