Ms Maria Graham:

I will make two points. It is something that was very much in the mind of the Attorney General in the context of the planning review. Obviously, the board is working in the legislative frame that binds it. We were before the Oireachtas joint committee recently on the question of environmental assessment. One of the aspects we are looking at is that the new legislation would have all of the environmental piece in one part with clear signposting. That would be to ensure we are transposing things correctly, it has the constitutional public participation requirements and it is clear for future-proofing with regard to anything that comes from the court. From a skills perspective, we have obviously had a lot of legislation, including new functions in the marine area, going to the board so the nature of the skills required on an ongoing basis is something we have discussed with it.
