I ask that the Department keeps us updated on that. A special area of conservation is a special area of conservation, end of story, just as a natural heritage area is a natural heritage area. If we are talking about the Natura network, that concerns huge parts of the country. Ms Dillon mentioned the nitrate-vulnerable zones. There is different terminology coming on sensitive areas. It would be dangerous for many parts of the country if the current wording of the proposals remained as it is.
