That is great. I look back to the summer of 2019 because Covid-19 has bled us all of everything since then. With the really good weather, all sorts of potential monuments became apparent, including some of the ÉIRE signs that are sometimes visible as one flies in over Ireland. They date back to the Second World War. They became apparent even though they had not been previously apparent, even to the landowners. We can make an association with the obvious monuments such as Moore Street, but I am referring to other monuments when I ask how farmers will know how to proceed. I take Mr. Kirwan’s point that there is a great deal of work to do. I thank Mr. Kirwan and Mr. Carpenter for their replies.
