I am in Leinster House 2000. I thank the Heritage Trust, the OPW and the Irish Planning Institute for giving us their time today, for their submissions and for the work that they do in this area. It is vast. This general scheme is ambitious. It seeks to update the laws and regulations and to streamline processes. I am interested in hearing from the witnesses what success looks like for their organisations when the legislation is updated. I have heard what they have said about the streamlining and strengthening of the process and registrations. How do they feel the updating of the legislation will help to protect in a proactive way? What is their view on the proposed penalties included in the general scheme?
